Interflora scientists grow the world’s first polka dot rose














After years of patient research, scientists at the premises of the crop plant of Interflora have succeeded in creating lunar roses.

The development is a triumph in the breeding complex, and the result of a development project than a decade.

The floriculture team - led by Professor Winston Davies, a recognized authority on micropropagation and biochemistry - has, in fact, has developed a new plant variety, the first white rose with pink spots.

Professor Davies said: "The moon rose - which looks beautiful and, so to speak, yet strangely artificial - is the result of more than 10 years of research by the team at the premises of Interflora plant cultivation.

Geneticists-Interflora "The key to unlock this puzzle - as an engineer for plant DNA to produce regular patterns of coloration in a uniform, simply do not normally see in nature - to lay in the use of recombinant technology, which DNA molecules from different sources were combined into one molecule to create a new set of genes.

"The result is our moon rose, which I think is quite pretty. My wife loves Annie!"

Interflora pink polka dots have been created to satisfy consumer demand. Over the years, Interflora has been contacted by a number of customers asking if he would ever be possible to buy flowers with "artificial" patterns, often by the desire to send flowers to someone intrigued by a particular design.

The requests did not go unnoticed and the team were happy to accept the challenge. So far the company has kept the project secret, but now is ready to reveal the strange but beautiful building.

Watch out for the first pink polka dot used in the popular Six Stolen Kisses Interflora bouquet.

The pink polka dot - which is sure to cause a stir in the fields of botany and plant breeding - took place amid tight security at the premises of Interflora Lincolnshire plant breeding.
