dye flowers
If you put a white rose in a glass of water with purple food dye, would you get a purple rose in a few days? Would it die more quickly because it has dye and all?

Yes, it picks up the color some way or another. It may not turn entirely purple but it will change. The dye isn't toxic, you can use food coloring (it's safe for us, isn't it?). Try it!
Haha, and it has nothing to do with chlorophyll (the green pigment) because the petals are not green.

It wont be any different.
The dye is just a chemical. Flowers in the world pick up chemicals all the time and are adapted to that so it wouldnt make a difference.

yes, it will change the color, not of the entire petal, but of the vein type lookin things in the petals. it wont die any sooner and it has a very pretty effect. matter of fact heres the experiment in detail. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

It will last just as long as if it were in regular water. If you want the rose to live longer, then add some plant food.
As for the color: it will change slowly, and probably not at an ever rate. When I color flowers, usually the edges of the petal are the darkest in color and then it fades out! It's actually a kind of cool effect.

Yes it will work. In 5th grade I did a science project on flowers changing colors.
I put white roses in different colors of food coloring.
With in a week the flowers changed colors. Like for example the rose in red food coloring turned light red, blue good coloring, the rose turned light blue. The flowers did not die faster with food coloring in them.

For sure it wont change colors because roses have color pigments called chorophyll and you cant alter those color pigments through food dye. im nut sure if it will die more quikly but it may because of the chemicals in the color die.

I seriously heard it would happen. But i`m not really sure. How rad would that be if that did happen?! Anyways, one of my friends said the exact same thing, and it SHOULD happen. So you can try it if you want..but i`m not 1OO% sure.
