The unattainable blue rose Charles De Gaulle

The characteristic fragrance of the rose is gorgeous and enticingly deep at once, and its shapely flower is just as charming. The ideal rose is supposed to have a "high center and pointed flower petals." Although many colors - red, white, yellow - were developed in the course of history, "Blue" remains close to impossible. This is why "Blue Rose" means something unattainable. The Meilland family of France who are distinguished breeders attained this goal by the breeding of a blue rose named "Charles De Gaulle". Its fragrance could be described as a sophisticated mixture of the sweet Damask modern scent and a soft tea-like scent of tea roses. But the color of the flower itself is more like violet than blue.
