CSIRO is claiming to have produced a transgenic blue rose, though the fact sheet admits it's more of a "pale mauve-blue." They're hoping for bluer roses in the future, if they can reduce the acidity of the petals.

This rose is at least three years away from the commercial market in Australia, pending approval from the office that regulates transgenic organisms. [via [livejournal.com profile] wordweaverlynn] No photos, alas.
