Is there such thing as a blue rose?
It grows on a regular rose bush like all the others. It may disappoint you , tho. It isn't really blue but more of a light blueish gray....a "cool" off white color. Still it is pretty. There is one in the Birmingham ,Al botanical gardens and i know one woman there who grows them but it's been too long ago and i forget her name. Surely you can call the gardens and ask.
Reply:I don't know about 2004.......My mother used to grow 'Blue Moon' Roses about 5 ~ 10 years ago.....they are a light powder blue colour.


She got them from a regular plant nursery

Reply:Since roses lack a gene to produce delphinidin, the primary plant pigment that produces true blue flowers, blue roses were traditionally created by dyeing white roses. However, after 13 years of joint research by an Australian company Florigene, and Japanese company Suntory, a blue rose was created in 2004 using genetic engineering.

Reply:There are already "bluish" roses on the market, but these flowers were created through crossbreeding and cannot be called true blue, according to Suntory. The gene of the enzyme that produces the blue pigment, delphinidin, is not found in rose petals to begin with.
Reply:There is no such thing as a blue rose. You can buy blue roses, but they have been dyed by growers who grow the plant in soil that contains chemicals that change the colour. Some florist shops can order blue roses for you, however you may have to buy a whole package because there is so little demand for them and the rest would be wasted. At the flower shop where I work, a customer is obliged to buy a package of 20 blue roses, even if he or she needs only one. Expect to pay about $2-3 more per rose than you would for a natural-coloured rose.





A second option is to ask your florist to spray paint an open white rose for you, but with this method, the colour would be uneven as the petals open and the paint could damage the flower.... third choice; buy a silk rose.
