Unusual Roses

There are many very pretty roses out there, and some are even stunning to say the least. What about something different? I have heard and been hearing for a number of years about blue roses being developed.

Not tinted or sprayed blue, but really blue roses. Whoa now that is different and cool. In the beginning of this journey I remember reading a magazine article about this ongoing project. At the time, they really weren't available to the public.
At least not in an affordable manner for most of us.

In the article it was stated how they were being grown and so on. The article went on to state that if you really wanted some they would be about $10,000 for a dozen!
Yikes and double yikes. This was in about the year 1991.

Fast forward a few years. The scientists have still not been able to bring the blue roses to market, and probably never will. So we will have to settle for artificial, dyed or painted blue roses for the time being.

Besides most people really do prefer red now, don't they......
