Rainbow Rose Seeds - Flower Plant

Rainbow rose seeds are marketed as producing roses with multicolored blooms; however, naturally grown roses from seed will not produce true rainbow-colored flowers. The “rainbow rose” effect is typically created artificially by dyeing cut white roses. Seeds sold under this name will generally grow standard rose plants with normal flower colors depending on genetics. Roses grow as perennial shrubs with a bushy habit and perform best in full sun with well-drained, fertile soil and consistent moisture. Suitable for garden beds, borders, and containers, they establish gradually and develop into flowering shrubs over time.
