Default hi there!

There was some talk about a almost blue rose although I can't remember who
put it out.

True blue is not in the genetic make-up of roses.

Cross pollination only effects the off-spring of a rose, not the rose it's
self, so the color of one rose does not effect the other. So plant away!

im a newbie in gardening and i always wanted roses in my garden. is
there a blue colored roses? i wanted to plant those not the usual color
of roses like red or yellow i want something different...is planting
other colored roses like blue colored ones will not affect its color
after pollination because i have a one pot of rose with two color of
buds one is red the other is yellow but they grow in the same stem...
how can i avoid this so it will not affect my blue colored ones.. I
still want to keep my old roses....
