    The seeds may be available as the seller has almost 100% positive feedback but what you will get is the seed for a HT rose of one colour, The rainbow colouring process is something else. To me they look hideously garish but may be not to everyone.:smile:

                NanJing, China ;)
                that is just the prove that you can get excellent service just for send seeds and not for viability or quality of seeds .....
                with seeds it`s always good business , if they don`t germinate it`s your fault and not them ;) .

                seen selling those as well as rare roses for 0.99 pences :loll: .

                    I'm not a rose expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I am always deeply skeptical whenever I see pictures of blue roses. Purple that's nearly blue perhaps, but not actual blue. The reason is I once read somewhere (can't remember where but I remember it being a credible source) that roses don't contain the genes needed to produce the blue pigment, and therefore no amount of breeding will actually produce an actual blue rose.

                        They looked quite pretty after the first day with just a hint of colour but then looked steadily worse.
