    Blue Roses - I once produced a true blue Rose colour by putting food dye in the roots of a rose.

    As with blue colour dyed orchids they will revert to their natural colour (white) unless repeated again.

    I don't think I've ever owned a hybrid tea rose, they have all been floribunda's with the exception of a couple of standards. What colours are you thinking of Woo for your two/three?
