Rainbow Roses: A bad Valentine's Day gift idea from 'The View'
Twitter

On Wednesday's episode of "The View," the co-hosts promoted the hottest new hideous Valentine's Day craze: rainbow roses. These artificially-colored roses look like they belong on top of a kid's birthday cake, not in a bouquet, but we're betting that plenty of misguided men will be gifting their unlucky ladies with them this February 14.The roses are dyed by splitting the stem of a white rose, and soaking each piece in a different colored water. The split part of the stem is then cut and prepped for the bouquet.
If you want your Valentine's Day gift to be a celebration of gay pride, these roses are totally appropriate and creative. If that's not what you intend to say, though, V-Day is not the time for trends. Stick with the classics: Red for "I love you," and yellow for "I kind of sort of maybe like you." White is a symbol of purity and/or remembrance, so if you're going for a "Yay, virginity!" or "I'm sad you're dead" vibe, that's your color.

As a chick, grrl - A WOMAN who isn't gay (but willing to try it for the right grrl) I love the rainbow roses. I think they're beautiful and a great Botany work of art.
so yes I would be very gay (happy) to receive these. Skip the chocolates unless it's fair trade chocolate.
gay or not, these are awesome flowers.. the 70s are back.. yes!!!

I think that this roses are beautiful and would love to get some for v-day.
I actually like them, why does the writer have to be so negative? Everything is so negative all the time now, and why does every rainbow have to mean that ur gay? Grow up people, not every person is the same and you can't speak for everyone, because clearly everyone that has commented likes them!
I really like them! It's different.
They're gorgeous..They make me happy
