you will need long stemmed roses, available from any reputable florist
White, cream or a light pastel coloured rose are best
to work with. Secondly,
food colouring in your favourite desired colors,
available from your local supermarket.
Prepare your water and food coloring by
diluting approximately 50 millilitres of food colouring to 500
millilitres of water.
Carefully cut the stems of your roses into halves
thirds or quarters, depending on how many colours you will be using.
Once all your rose stems are cut, carefully
place each part of the stem into a different color.
You may want to tie your roses with a ribbon or string so they
stay bunched together in an upright position.
Allow around 24 hours for the roses to absorb the food coloring.
