Anyone ever seen this rose in real life, or know where to buy it? It's mentioned in a couple of scientific publications about rose pigments and is one of the rosacyanin based blue colors (the sterling silver type lavender mauve clan), unlike say veilchenblau and the gallica tribe which are high pH cyanidin type pigments. Supposedly seiryu is one of the bluest of the blue (although I feel like I've heard that statement thrown around way too many times). Anyway, with so much marketing hype and so many doctored photos, it would be nice to know if anyone's actually seen this rose in person? Thanks a lot.

i wouldnt be 100% sure but i believe this rose maybe one of then new blues that the csiro here in australia worked with a private venture company that the japaness bought the majority shareholding in.if this is correct then this rose has blue genes [ delphiniods ] spliced into it.i believe at the moment they are only available as cut flowers in australia and japan.as yet they are no better and probably not as good as our normal blues.

Seiryu is relatively popular in Japan and sold as pots. I have not seen yet, but I have heard this is a beautiful pale blue violet rose.
I remember Suntory's "Applause" rose by kev's comment. As kev wrote, Suntory's partner's Florigene is an Australian venture company. Also Applause is sold as a cut flower only.
And I recall that my mother(is a florist) said it is strikingly blue, and very artificial-looking.

I just purchased this rose and it has a bud on it. I will take a picture when it blooms. It is a young plant so it may change when it gets older and in the ground.

I have found web pages in Japanese language discribing the parentage tree of "Seiryu", and of course, "Ondina".
But it seems that the post including these URLs is not allowed here. (I posted some times but failed.)
If needed, I will translate to English. Let me know but response may be slow...

That would be excellent! There are many more Japanese roses on websites, but our language skills are insufficient.

We're sorry to have to prevent site guests from posting urls from other websites into comments here. Unfortunately in the past, people have use these comments to post urls to inappropriate websites (like pornography).
We are planning a change that should help. Meanwhile we greatly look forward to your participation.
