Blue Roses

Two rose colors remain elusive to breeders. Black roses, and the ultimate... blue roses. There are some "almost" blue colored roses, but they are lacking the genes to ever produce a true blue. More reading on the work being done with rose genes can be found here.

I have no doubt that a blue rose will be produced sooner or later. I hope it's in my lifetime, as I would love nothing more than to have one of my own. With all the work going on with genetic modification these days, it's only a matter of time.

Just because blue colored roses don't exist, that's no reason not to have some pictures of them! So here are several "blue rose pictures". Right click on the images and select "save link as" if you wish to download the full sized version (suitable as desktop background).
