I always thought it would require actual genetic engineering to do that, rather than rearranging genes that are already present in roses, which is what they used to do. Hope this kind smells better than the blue-lavender roses that have been around a while, though. :)<br /><br />I don't consider something like an ear on a person's arm to be hybridization.

Looked painful.<br /><br />And naturally it got me to thinking about science and that we are, so many of us, on the cusps of hybrid advancements... like bladder transplants using pig intestines and pacemakers, etc. <br /><br />Really great post!
