Happy Rainbow roses?!


Pretty ain't they?? These are real roses!! Though I agree they look kinda fake! The colours are not painted or sprayed onto this wonderful blooms! Instead, these roses are genetically modified. Plant extracts are injected into the stems and the extracts will travel up through the rose where it acts as a sort of dye. The roses will turn from their natural colour to what you can see in the pictures!



The Rainbow Rose is now available in the UK for the first time and it seems that there is a little science involved in this rather expensive rose - a single one will set you back over thiry US dollars. They are also known as the Happy rose because of its cheerful array of colours! =)
 
Still prefer the natural colours though..
