Roses red and roses white / Plucked I for my love's delight.

Too late for Kipling, Florigene in Australia (a subsidiary of Suntory) have come up with blue roses....

I'm not at all sure of this, but [qualified wow!]

A rather nice violet shade, from the pictures. Presumably more intense blues will follow in due course.

Yes, I didn't think they were very blue either.

For relaxing thyme, make it Suntory thyme.

the rose with the blues

Although I am sure it may go down well with florists, unless it is a good piercing blue it is not worth planting in the garden as it will be lost.
Also, if the photo is accurate, the centres of the roses seemed to be missing. Were they pointless Hybrid Teas or overblown Shrub roses?
Roses,to me,mean love. Maybe in this case love has got the blues.
