Is there more than one way to dye a rose black?

Question

i've read in a couple places that to dye a rose black just mix food coloring till i get it as dark as possible and i have to let the rose sit in a vase of the dye and let it soak it up and that it could take a couple days. but if i had less time to deal with, could i simply "paint" on the dye or dip and coat it in the dye?

Answer 1

I don't think so..there are some special florist sprays for changing color, but I've never seen those in the regular craft stores.

Answer 2

you can spray paint them. also, Black Magic roses are available-- they are roses that are a very deep red maroon, almost to the point of black. they're quite beautiful and any local florist can special order them for you! good luck.

Answer 3

it probely depends on if the paint is toxic or not i wouldnt do it

Answer 4

*sniffle*  But they're so pretty colorful!!!
