The history of roses “roses are blue”

The Roses have a very long history. It was first cultivated by ancient civilization 5,000 years ago and more than 25,000 varities have been produced since then, such colours as Red, Pink, White and Yellow. One colour that has proved impossible was blue. The pigment that makes other flowers blue is called delphidin, but roses lack the genes to produce it. In June 30, 2004, an Australian Company, had created the world’s first blue rose something that had long been considered the grail of horticulturalists. The team of developers intends to continue efforts to make roses bluer and also consider any possible effect on other plants and the environment with the goal of releasing this new flowers commercially in 2007 or 2008!
