This is done with Photoshop buddy, its only paint brush technique, we use it randomly in our photos for certain effects.

And in naturally we only give single color to some of cut flowers via colored water, not even a gradation can be made with this method.

i was willing to have that btw
anyway can we use only one colour????like rose colour is red and i start provide blue colour in water so rose colour will change for sure but will it harm rose plant???i'm not sure ab8 it....

In Karachi, the Stem cuttings are difficult for those which are commonly known as "English roses", however, you can propagate our desi fragrant rose almost year round through cuttings. The cuttings are always planted in plain soil without any khaad or fertilizer, when the roots emerge (usually in a month or so) they are transplanted into a better soil mix with fertilizers.

You can buy quality roses from Shaheen Nursery near APHA lawn in Gulistan-e-Jauhar on very good rates.

This will harm your plant in the long run... only the light colored cut flowers can colored using a dye in their water and that too after cutting them from the plants.. they include: Tuberose, Gladiolus, Carnations, Chrysanthemums..

if you are a rose lover and have a good knowledge on roses then maybe you can do this in fact it’s not an photo shop effect there are different articles available on rainbow rose one of them is as under

"The rainbow rose is a rose which has had its petals artificially colored.

The method exploits the rose's natural processes by which water is drawn up the stem. By splitting the stem and dipping each part in a different colored water, the colors are drawn into the petals resulting in a multicoloured rose.

Besides roses, other cut flowers like the chrysanthemum, carnation, hydrangea and some species of orchids can also be colored using the same method

The uncomplicated process has been known for more than a millennium.[citation needed] Several companies have moved to patent the process.[citation needed] It appears they have been partially successful.[citation needed] Three of them offer rainbow roses under the name "Happy Roses."[citation needed] It will be up to the courts to decide if the process can be patented.[citation needed]


A lot of research was done to find the best cultivar for this unique coloring process, with the result that the Vendela Rose is the only cultivar that absorbs all the different colorants perfectly.[citation needed] The Vendela Rose is a Hybrid Tea, cream rose that grows in Holland, Colombia and Ecuador. When the rose is in full bloom it has a flower diameter of 6 cm and a stem length of 40 to 100 cm. The rose isn’t scented.

Other cultivars that can be used for this coloring process are Rosa La Belle and Rosa Avalanche+.[citation needed]






The rainbow rose is available with different colour combination. The most popular is the variant with all the colors of the rainbow. There are also the tropical variant with combinations of red/pink and yellow, and the ocean variant with combinations of green and blue.[1] Other color combinations are also possible, though black and white are impossible to make. The position of the colours can make just as much of a difference as different colors."
