The rainbow rose is a rose which has had its petals artificially coloured.
The colouring 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 differently coloured water, the colours are drawn into the petals resulting in a multicoloured rose.
The rainbow rose has been developed by a collaboration of two dutch companies, River Flowers and F.J. Zandbergen & Zn. Together they formed Happy Roses to produce and market rainbow roses.
River Flowers started as a cultivator of chrysanthemums. In 2004, they developed a method of adding colour to the petals of chrysanthemums and applied for a worldwide patent.
Zandbergen is a large company which specialises in everything to do with roses. When they happened to come into contact with River Flowers in 2006, the colouring process was tried on roses and found to be successful.

lol I learned how to make multicolored roses on an educational PC game when I was little. xD
The game was called The Universe According to Virgil Reality.

Worldwide patent? 2004? For colouring flowers?
If it's what I think it is, there's a hell of a lot of prior art for that.

i absolutely love this picture. Did you figure out the method and apply it on your own or did you just find a rose that was already colored and photograph it?
Btw, if you like rainbows and colorful things, check out my tshirt design. I'm sorry to self advertise, but there was a big botting issue and the mods aren't doing anything about it so my tshirt went from 31st to 65th, out of semi finals, and i need all the help i can get [link]

Wow, what an incredible piece! Looks a little painstaking to create. ^^"
I love the concept of this so much, and when I first saw it, I thought it was a photomanipulation!
Great job, I love this!
