hampartsum said: Thank you for your detailed explanation. If I want some blue in my rose beds, I seek for delphiniums, clematis or campanulas as companion plants. They do the job splendidly...It's fascinating when mankind finds limits to creativity...(something or for others someone, in my case, is telling us don't push any further). There's such a huge world of possibilities elsewhere...
A whitewash of snow is now on the ground although quite ahead in spring. All my roses are now under cover safely. I would much prefer if gene engineers would find ways to add spring freeze resistance, instead of just a blue rose... But the world seems triggered by illusions of market bonanzas. Markets also have limits to their expectations... Although Japanese ornamentals have provided splendid cultivated varieties, the trends towards extreme manipulation is not my cup of tea. I expect it to stay at the stage of failed attempts. Thus I expect this thread to finish very soon...
