So far we only know the roses in red or white. And what about blue? Something rare to find. A group of researchers developed a new type of roses in blue. These roses will be available soon in stores of certain roses in the United States, in November.
Geneticists from Australia's Florigene Ltd., a wholly owned (98.5%) subsidiary of Japanese drinks manufacturer Suntory Ltd., first cracked the code for creating blue roses in 2004. Since then, they have been refining the process to the point where true blue roses can be sold to a public eager to possess the once "impossible dream".
Examples of the roses on display in Tokyo displayed a soft mauve tint that Florigene scientists say is just the starting point for what will be a variety of bluish shades.
By inserting genes from the common Pansy and Iris into Rose DNA while at the same time switching off a Rose gene that prevented the production of the blue pigment known as "delphinidin", the legendary flower of love will be able to synthesize and express a full range of hues from palest baby blue to deep navy.

Blue rose is the result of genetic engineering by performing the synthesis of pigment found in blue flowers named Delphinion. Indeed, sometimes a glimpse of this rose-colored purple. Scientists claim the nearest flower color is blue. Applause roses with names in the U.S. and Canada for the first time this fall.
Suntory spokesman Kazumasa Nishizaki, responding to questions about the new blue rose, said "As its price may be a bit high, we are targeting demand for luxurious cut flowers."
Patriotic rose bouquets could also be marketed now that red, white & blue roses could be used. Suntory hopes to sell up to several hundred thousand blue roses a year and is working with Florigene to grow the roses in Australia.
Of course, the greatest demand for blue roses would likely be from individuals wanting to express their love in the traditional manner - and since blue roses are said to signify fantasies, they should be quite popular indeed! *** [INVENTORSPOT.COM | DAILY MAIL | JAM | PIKIRAN RAKYAT 29092011]
