blue rose ?

Hi ,
Are there really blue ones ? sorry that is new to me,

I bumped into this ebay listing of seeds of blue rose
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/China-Rare-Blue-Rose-Flower-to-lover-elves-20-seeds-/321018066276?pt=UK_HomeGarden_Garden_PlantsSeedsBulbs_JN&hash=item4abe2af564

The image does not look real ,and if so how easy it is to grow from seeds ?

I never grown roses from seeds, looks a bit strange to me ? but would love to have such plants

  • Thank you Stephen,

    Looking at it again leaves at the background are not even roses , are they ?

    How fake can it go...

  • Just have a look at what else they are selling. It takes years to breed roses so think how long it must of taken to breed the rainbow rose they are selling

     Rainbow Rose

    Now thats a rose

     

  • Amazing, just looked at their feedback ( could not stop myself from doing that ) .nearly 7000 happy customers -buying seeds of what looks as photoshop roses. I wish i could see what is growing from these seeds

  • i have a rose called blue moon and its supposed to be the bluest rose there is except really it is a washed out violet colour. ive seen these blue chinese roses on ebay but think that they are just seriously altered photographs. i think if they truly existed with that intensity of colour they would be on sale mainstream for years already.  

    also the feedback could be from 7000 other items that they are selling, other seeds or plants?3314692627?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024

  • do they sell the brushes with that rose or just the paint? crazy people! )

  • looking at other things they've sold recently..... they even sell nappies for dogs!!.... give me a cat anyday.

  • If I remember about 2 years ago I think ?!?!? scratching my old grey matter  I was watching RHS Chelsea and there was a grower who had managed to grow a blue rose but I think they did it from a graft. As it is one of the colours it is tricky to get in roses.

  • i think its actually a genetic impossibility even.  

  • Try to add for that the chance that you will get the reasults from seeds ... it must be supplied with paint and brush
