Carton is correct. Roses lack an enzyme to produce a true blue rose. Closest color is lavendar. Your photo is doctored.

A recent pharmaceutical research accident yielded hope that a blue rose will soon be possible.

The other thing is that, in nature, THERE IS NO BLUE FOOD. And, blue-berries don't count, as they are purple. Isn't that something?

How awesomely appropriate! Mr. Reagan came to Washington in a Whirlwind of sunshine and leaves in a Whirlwind of rain! HOW SYMBOLIC!

I thought I had heard somewhere that one of the reasons there are no blue roses is that bees can't see the color blue...?

Then again, I could be off my rocker.
