The present invention provides a rose characterized by containing flavones and delphinidins by genetic recombination techniques. Corresponding flavones and delphinidins are typically produced by the expression of the flavone synthase gene and flavonoid 3 ', 5'-hydroxylase gene, respectively, respectively. The flavone synthase gene is, for example, a flavone synthase gene derived from Hyunsamaceae, and as a specific example, a flavone synthase gene derived from Hyunsam and Snapdragon and a flavone synthase gene derived from Hyunsam and Torenia. In addition, the flavonoid 3 ', 5'-hydroxylase gene is, for example, the flavonoid 3', 5'-hydroxylase gene from Pansy ( Viola x wittrockiana ). |
