    Source article is better, and refers to them as “violet-blue roses” https://www.suntory.com/sic/story/20260911/

    « Hey Coop’! I guess Blue Roses occur in nature now! »

    « Damn good news, Gordon! »

    Any article on this topic is unsatisfactory if it lacks a color photo.

      There is a color photo, but the rose isn't actually blue.

    Are the scientists color blind? The rose is purple.

      Bad translation, see the other top-level comment with the origin link that referes to them as violet-blue.

    Finally! What we have all been waiting for. Phew.

    I mean asking us to use different flowers to get our blue colours was just too much.

    Not actually blue though is it? Kinda purple.

      I would've called it "a sickly kind of purple"
