蓝玫瑰

蓝玫瑰包含了转基因的玫瑰品种和染色后的玫瑰。

自然界中并不存在蓝色的玫瑰。第一种转基因合成的蓝玫瑰品种，由日本三得利公司在2004年首次培育成功^[1]，该品种由于含有翠雀花素（一种花青素）而呈色；^[2]^[3]虽然取名“蓝玫瑰”，它真正的花色介于薰衣草色和藕合色之间。^[4] 天津大学和中科院的研究人员在2018年也用白玫瑰通过转基因技术培育出了蓝玫瑰^[5]。

蓝色妖姬等品种不是真正的蓝玫瑰，而是用白玫瑰或白月季染色成的。

在一些文化中，蓝玫瑰传统上与"蓝色"皇室血液联系在一起，因此蓝玫瑰代表王权和辉煌。由于蓝玫瑰实质上的缺失，它们也象征神秘和渴望实现不可能的事物。^[6]
