Blue Rose
Wouldn't a Blue Rose look great in your garden? Maybe someday, but to date, there is NO really true blue one. But there are many attempts that have turned into some very lovely shades. If you buy these roses at the florists, they are actually white roses that have been dyed blue. Gardeners everywhere, search for flowers with the color blue to add to their garden. There are many
different types of flowers
that have that color, so for now, we will have to be content to add the color blue by way of perennials and annual flowers, planted amoung our roses.

MeaningBlue roses, in some cultures, signify a never ending quest for the impossible. (a mystery) A Myth about Blue rosesCould this Roman Myth be the reason why there are NO Blue roses to date? Flora, the goddess of flowers, asked the gods to create a flower that all other flowers could use as a model of perfection. As part of her request she asked that their never be a blue rose, since the color blue was then associated with death.
