Roses are red...
and now they are blue! Blue roses signify a meaning of impossible or unattainable love, and you will soon be able to send them to your loved ones.
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.
Test batches are currently being grown, and blue roses are expected to be available for sale in the US starting in Autumn of 2009. They will be for sale in Japan and Australia during the 1st quarter of this year.

Something borrowed...
and a rose that's blue.
Although the meaning for blue roses is "impossible or unattainable love", 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. 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 first heard the name Blueroses in a play by Tennessee Williams called The Glass Menagerie. In it the prime character Laura had pleuropsy but some guy in school
when overhearing her talking thought she said her name was Blueroses when actually
she was telling a friend she had pleu-ro-sis, sounded like Blue roses. I loved the
name and flower ever since. Just recently a company in Japan grew what they
said was the first blue rose but it looks more purple to me. You can get white roses
dyed at florists, they just put blue in the water and let the white roses suck up the
blue and it catches. They can be nice. The sprayed blue roses are awful though.

- I'm not all that keen on the unattainable or impossible love, but these roses are gorgeous just the same. I guess they are fairly rare because I have never really seen them before.Great lens.

- Incredible isn't it? There's an epic novel somewhere waiting to be written, the 'Search for the Blue Rose'. They will take over with a bang I'm sure, blue flowers are beautiful and a blue rose would be doubly so.
