Hi!!! I hope you are keeping well. I just come back from work, exhausted but still managed to squeeze in a weekly food shopping spree. Things that you just have to do eh..
While at work this morning , my colleague and I had this conversation about flowers. I happened to ask if there's really such a thing called Blue Rose.I heard of it when I was a kid from a drama when a woman asked her beau to bring her a Blue Rose. I thought it was just a sweet plea but when a translation about YJssi liking a Blue Rose came out it made me wonder what it really look like or if it does exist at all.
So this colleague of mine suggested David Austin coz she happened to order Black Rose from him. I am not really into horticulture but apparently he had produced various varieties of rare English roses over the years and have been a favorite household name in the prestigious Chelsea Flower Show.
Now you've wondered if I got myself a Blue Rose, right? I have ordered it but the nearest I could find in his collection is the Blue For You and the other one you could get is called Rhapsody in Blue (below) which I think is rather pretty.
I must say I got interested with this variety. I've come to like it and can't wait to see it in bloom.
I hope you'll have a lovely weekend ahead.

Hi, sis HYDS.
I am well,dear, as I hope you are. I found a site which talks about the new development, in Japan, of an even bluer rose than the lovely ones you have posted on your site. There is a good bit of information as well about 'blue roses' which I hope you will find interesting. This is the URL for the site:

I would love to see a pure 'blue rose', but botanists say that is still a few years away from development. Still, the rose in this picture is very pretty. Stay well, dear.
Love, Anna
Thanks Anna! I was actually expecting a bluer variety far from the purplish type of Austin's. It would be easy if the soil was the sole factor which creates a lighter or darker colour.
Take care.

Dear Hyds,
Soil can affect the color of a flower or other plant, but not always in a good way. Here in Tennessee, the soil has a lot of iron in it, and that can make flowers or plant leaves look reddish or even purple. You should see some of the purple leaved clover which grows here. Very pretty, but sort of weird, too. Glad you liked the blue rose.
Love, Anna
