[Intensive Agriculture] New Color-active Species of Rose Grown in Taiwan (
Chinese Version)
The China Post (2012/04/12) A new species of rose whose petals can change color in sunlight has been cultivated at a rose garden in Changhua County and has the potential for enormous business opportunities, National Cheng Kung University in Tainan said yesterday.
The new species, which is awaiting verification by National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), was bred by experts at the rose garden two years ago.
NCKU officials said that when the bud starts to open, the edge of the petals gradually turn from light pink to neon pink, appearing as a color progression.
In addition, after the flower opens fully, the color becomes much deeper as it is exposed to stronger sunlight, the university officials said.
After the verification is completed, the university will register the new species with the Council of Agriculture.
