Genetically modified blue roses have reportedly been successfully created by the Japanese company Suntory; they inserted the gene for the blue plant pigment delphinidin into a strain of white roses.

Link found here.The very blue ones in the bottom photo are "conventional" blue roses created by placing a cut stem into a blue dye.
