    Lost my post!

    One of the multi coloured roses is called Masquerade, another is Joseph's Coat

    There is also a hybrid Tea rose called Harry Wheatcroft which is stripey. Quite eye catching.

    Found a photo I took. Unfortunately, the label didn't come out. I'll ask my sister if she took one

    Not tried, but I think Photoshop is the key here.

    We used to add blue ink to vases of daffodils, which gave the daffs a blue tinted fringe but never turned the whole flower blue, and I suspect the same would be true with any other flower, tinged but not fully coloured and more apparent on paler flowers, like whites or yellow
    You can buy bunches of lilies in most supermarkets and some have been dyed blue and other colours.  I don’t know about you but I prefer my flowers to be a bit more natural looking  :D

    I have a red and yellow rose called Abracadabra that's quite fun. It has some red blooms, some yellow blooms, and many multicoloured ... not a rainbow though!

    My Dad had some Masquerade roses - the buds opened to yellow flowers and, as the flowers aged, they became bi-coloured yellow/red and finally all red.  As there were always flowers of different ages on the bushes, there was a good mixture of the colours.
