3 Easy Ways To Create Blue Roses

Blue Roses: We often come across various colored roses that look as beautiful as you can imagine. Even though the red roses are the most charming flowers ever, the other colors make a fantastic choice. Plus, all the various colors of the roses are associated with different emotions, such as yellow for friendship, red for love, white for peace, etc. Even though we find all the colors extremely pretty, the blue roses stand out from the rest. Blue roses are spectacularly bright and make for such a beautiful bouquet. But did you know that blue roses do not exist naturally? Yes, fact-check, people! Blue roses are created by using different methods. When you buy blue roses from the market, they look natural but are dyed with artificial colors. We are very excited to tell you How to Create Blue Roses.

Ways To Create Blue Roses at Home

So, there are various methods by which you can make blue roses at home. We have specified three major ways in which you can easily make them. Here we go:

Ways To Create Blue RosesThe Absorption Method

Creating Blue Roses with Food Colour

Things You Will Need

  1. Powdered blue florist’s dye
  2. Freshly cut white roses
  3. Glass vase
  4. Flower preservative
  5. Pair of Scissors
  6. Dethroning tool
  7. Water

Steps to Follow

  1. One thing to remember before you begin is to make sure that the flowers have not been soaked in water. They should not have been treated with water.
  2. We only need dry and freshly cut roses as they maximize the uptake of the floral dye.
  3. With the dethroning tool, remove the thorns from each stalk of the rose. If you don’t have a dethroning tool, you can use a kitchen knife or a sharp gardening knife to remove the thorns. A pair of scissors will also work.
  4. Make sure that you do not scar the stems.
  5. Now put the roses in an empty vase.
  6. Removing thorns is not a necessity. It is only done to ensure your safety. If you want to keep the thorns, you can wear gardening gloves to protect your hands.
  7. Now is the time to prepare the blue dye. Take warm water and add the powdered dye to it. If you want an intense color, you can add more dye.
  8. Stir the dye mix thoroughly to ensure that it is even and there are no lumps.
  9. Now cut the stems of the roses with scissors diagonally or at a 45-degree angle. This ensures better absorption.
  10. Put the dye in the vase and then add the roses. Dip the stems of the roses in the dye so that they can absorb sufficient color.
  11. Leave the vase in a dark place and allow the stems to absorb the dye for around an hour.
  12. Once you find the color in the petals, rinse off the dye solution and fill the vase with clear water.
  13. You can add flower preservatives to ensure that the blooms retain their color for a long time.

Ways To Create Blue Roses-The Dip-Dyeing Method

This is a rather easier way to get blue roses. It will be a messy process, so wear transparent gloves to keep your hands clean.

Things You Will Need

  1. Blue floral dip dye
  2. A bowl or a bucket
  3. White roses
  4. Pair of Scissors
  5. Water

Steps to Follow

  1. Follow the same steps to remove the thorn if needed.
  2. Put the powdered dye into a bucket of water. There should be enough water for the flower heads to completely submerge.
  3. Add blue dye to the water to deepen the intensity of the color you want.
  4. It is better to get liquid dye than powdered one, as it dyes the flowers better.
  5. Mix the dye and the water thoroughly.
  6. Dip the roses one by one into the water for a few seconds. Keep them submerged completely so that all the petals can be dyed.
  7. Once they have a nice even coat, shake the flowers to remove the excess dye and then put them in a different vase or container.
  8. Repeat the same process for all the roses.
  9. Before you put the roses together, make sure they have completely dried.
  10. If you want a more intense color, dip-dye them again until you get the required color.
  11. The dye is reusable, so you can save it for later as well. You can dye as many flowers as you would like in the same dye.

Ways To Create Blue RosesThe Spray Method

This is the simplest and quickest method to create roses of any color. You can get blue roses in an instant with this method.

Things You Will Need

  1. Fresh white roses
  2. Floral spray paint
  3. Well ventilated place
  4. Drop cloth

Steps to Follow

  1. Put out a drop cloth to place the roses on top of it.
  2. Find a well-ventilated place for yourself to do this process because the smell of the paint can suffocate.
  3. Place a white rose on the drop cloth. Make sure the flower is dry.
  4. If you want, you can cut out the thorns before you begin the process.
  5. Now take the spray paint and shake it well before using.
  6. Spray the color on the flower head from around 15 to 18 inches.
  7. Rotate the flower to get an even coat on all sides.
  8. Once all the sides are covered, spray the color on the inside of the petals to give them a natural finish.
  9. Repeat the same process for all the flowers.
  10. Set the flowers separately to allow them to dry.
  11. For a darker color, you can add another coat.
  12. However, it is advised that you do not spray the flowers regularly because they can die.
