If you can get a blue carnation by putting a white carnation in a vase of
blue water, could you also get blue roses by watering a white rose with
water containing strong blue food colouring? It might be good for anyone
wanting blue roses for flower arranging?

Does anyone know how they dye heather bright blue? I've also seen them in green and
orange.

Thanks.

I tried putting a white rose stem in colored water it didnt work for me
I used green die. Maybe if the stem was shorter it might have worked.

They spray them, though I don't know exactly what dye they use.
