How can I properly dye rose petals? I recently received an abundance of white roses that I really don't have any use for.  I am looking to dye them black for a sporting event to match team colors.

I realize with most projects that if you start with a white color, you usually need some type of primer if you want to get a good dark color.  Is this the same with rose petals?

I am curious how to dye a white rose or white rose petals to black.

Is it possible to dye white roses a deep black?  Would I need a primer for this?
I discovered that by simply cutting the stems and adding black dye to the vase and simply placing the roses in the vase will color them black.  I tried this and it works great.


  You can dye the flowers by placing the stems in dye-enhanced water
