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!]

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.
