      Apart from the fact it's awful! How many new gardeners would be tempted to send for seeds of this from ebay? Photoshop? multi.JPG

        Good evening The rainbow Rose is a Rose that has had its petals artificially coloured. The method exploits the rose's natural processes by which water is drawn up the stem. By splitting the stem and dipping each part in different coloured water, the colours are drawn into the petals resulting in a multicolored rose. With these changes to the rose, it causes them to not live as long as an uncoloured rose:smile:

          And it's about time Ebay did something about the people that are selling the false seeds, this has been going on for a few years now and somebody is making a mint out of unsuspecting buyers. :doh:

                              I was so upset this morning in fact close to tears :cry3: When I saw all this... :yikes:

                              image.jpg

                              All my roses .....eaten overnight, yesterday I gave them all some tlc, pruned off the spent flowers, removed some leaves etc. etc.

                              I'm really shocked as I think it is visiting deer in the night, I never thought for one moment they would eat roses.... Not sure what to do now, leave them or prune them down :sad:
