Green rose is the result of research within 20 years of Suntory (Japan). The company created the first blue rose in the lab in 2009 and spent two years developing it to bring this flower to the North American market.

Previously, blue roses were sold in the Japanese market for between 15 and 20 pounds / cotton. Although the price is quite high, blue roses are sought by many people, especially on special occasions.
