I know there is no such thing as a black rose. BUT, How do the florists do it? I know SOME spray them. But I was told they place the fresh cut red or white flowers in a container with Black dye made of food coloring. TRUE? or FALSE? If they DO dye, how many days 'til the petals turn black? My son has a homecoming dance in 3 days (10/13) and wants to give one to his date!

Only the veins of the petals take up the dye from water. It is not pretty. But a black rose probably wouldn't be pretty if there was such a thing either. Better buy some florist spray paint at Michael's or somewhere. Protect the green parts, like the sepals, so they still look natural. I would start with one of those dark maroonish-red roses that the florists call red so that it takes as little spray paint as possible to get a halfway "natural" looking black. And expect to mess a few up before getting some you are happy with enough for him to present to his girlfriend .

Well, I'm more of a rose growing expert rather than a rose dying expert, but I've heard that you can dye a white rose black by setting it in ink. Food color or regular dyes would probably produce a purple rose. Black ink would be a better choice. I can't be certain, but it's worth a try.
Good Luck

Call your local florists and ask them about it. They should be able to help or might even have some. Good luck
