Blue Rose


Question
Is there a blue rose? If there is how can I get one? Thank you very much for your time.

Answer
Although no really blue rose exists, there is a certain amount of blue coloration in many roses. It was impossible to eliminate the blue from red pigment, which is unfortunate as the blue fades quickly. The result is that many pink and red roses, as they fade, turn an ugly shade of violet or magenta. Which means that if you do get a blue rose, the colour will be unstable in the sun and may even change radically depending on what type of soil and climate it is grown in. So far all experiments with blue roses have produced very inferior roses that are not marketable. Lynnette
