Green Romantica is a light green developed by Mieland,France.but in warmer climates its not that much green.in colder climates its light green just like culiflower heads.
But Farooq sb one day black & true blue will exist just like the purest of yellows & red.i dont remeber the first yellow but crimson glory was the first red.
Got your point. So the rose which appears black in the picture must be an old rose. I actualy did not like the "blue" because it is more of a purple.
I checked the image of green romantica, but it is certainly not the one we had. In the beginning the rose would have slight organish colour and with time it would change to light green, very similar to romantica. Can you guess what it could be?

Hope to see black and blue roses? BTW where do you find the names of roses and what is the system of rose nomenclature?

Mahmood sahab, the so called blue rose is not blue at all. It is a genetically modified plant produced after a research of 20 years. Basically this rose was "made" to synthesize a blue pigment, which is found in Delphiniums flowers which is a big achievement in itself. You can see the Delphinium flower here

I was not impressed because it just looked purple rose to me which we already had ages ago in our previous home.
