Blue Roses - Real, Rare, and for Sale
Ranked #125 in Home & Garden, #2,474 overall | Donates to Young Inventors International
Roses are red...and now they are blue!
Blue roses signify a meaning of impossible or unattainable love, and soon you will be able to hand-deliver or send them to your loved ones.
Real blue roses did not exist in nature, and were dyed blue by florists for many years, until 2004 when Suntory in Japan successfully created them through genetic engineering, by removing the prominent red pigment producing gene.
Test batches are currently being grown, and blue roses are expected to be available for sale in US retailers starting in Autumn of 2012. They were for sale in Japan and Australia during the 1st quarter of 2009, priced somewhere between $22 and $30 per bloom....

Something borrowed...
and a rose that's blue!
Although the meaning for blue roses is "the impossible, or unattainable love", other meanings from literature suggest a magical quality of becoming youthful and the granting of wishes - thus, attaining the impossible.A blue rose may just be the perfect rare gift of celebrating the trials and tribulations in your relationship that you have overcome together so far. I expect to see blue roses filling in the "something blue" category for many future wedding ceremonies...

"Blue Roses" Poem by Rudyard Kipling
Blue Roses
Roses red and roses white
Plucked I for my love's delight.
She would none of all my posies--
Bade me gather her blue roses.
Half the world I wandered through,
Seeking where such flowers grew.
Half the world unto my quest
Answered me with laugh and jest.
Home I came at wintertide,
But my silly love had died
Seeking with her latest breath
Roses from the arms of Death.
It may be beyond the grave
She shall find what she would have.
Mine was but an idle quest--
Roses white and red are best!
Rudyard Kipling

- I like the Kipling "Roses" poem. The blue roses are interesting but I think I will stick to the Red and Yellow in our back garden. Just a traditionalist I suppose.
