Roses are red, roses are blue,sSend her both, she’ll love you. Blue roses have been sought after for a long, long time. A Japanese company has finally been successful in creating blue roses. The company who found the winning formula, Suntory, is also a major whisky distiller. It’s only logical that they get into the luxury flower business. If the flowers don’t work, the booze will certainly be a hit.
 "As its price may be a bit high, we are targeting demand for luxurious cut flowers, such as for gifts," he said. The exact price and commercial name for the blue rose have not been decided.
The company is also growing the rose experimentally in Australia and the United States to get approval for sales, but no timing has been set for commercial launches in the two countries.
It created the flowers by implanting the gene that leads to the synthesis of the blue pigment Delphinidin in pansies. The pigment does not exist naturally in roses.
