    Source article is better, and refers to them as “violet-blue roses” https://www.suntory.com/sic/story/20260911/

    I think it’s interesting they noted the flowers stopped making the new pigment in the wild after 3 years - is it a genetic treatment that requires repeated intervention to maintain the effect?I’m also guessing the new genes don’t propagate to the seeds as well, so that they can have a steady demand for their special flowers.

    What I'm wondering is why researchers from a brewing company are interested in creating blue roses? How will they apply this to the brewing craft?

    > Finally, a true blue rose exists> It's actually a gradient from white to do desaturated blueish - kinda violet.What are they sniffing? When I hear "true blue rose", I imagine a red rose but blue, not this Frankenstein.

    Any article on this topic is unsatisfactory if it lacks a color photo.

    Are the scientists color blind? The rose is purple.

    Finally! What we have all been waiting for. Phew.I mean asking us to use different flowers to get our blue colours was just too much.
