Forget red, roses are blue
Japan's Suntory Limited said yesterday it would start selling the world's first genetically-modified blue roses next month.
Named Applause, the new variety is expected to be priced between 2,000 and 3,000 yen ($22-33) per stem, about 10 times more expensive than normal roses in Japan. There are no plans to sell them overseas.
