Blue rose....?

Are there any blue rose seeds that i can grow?


Or can i make a blue rose if i put a white rose in an basic solution because roses are an indicator....

Blue rose....?
Well, the petals will turn blue if the rose the cyanin pigments in the petal soak up a basic solution. But don't you think the plants will die if you water them something like lye? I think what the guy above me said about watering white roses with blue pigment would be a much better gardening idea.





However, it seems like blue roses have been created through genetic engineering:

Reply:put a white rose in water with blue ink/dye that will make you a blue rose.
Reply:Seeds, I don't know. There is some research on this possibility. I suspect that they are very expensive.





Regarding making a white rose turn blue in a basic solution - doubt it.





It is very likely that some rose colours may change; but first of all, the stem/plant would actually have to have the ability to absorb the hydroxide ions AND get them to the flower petal to react with the "indicator"





As an aside, it is unlikely that blue dye were it placed in the water would osmose to the leaves/petals
