Sorry, but I was just having a bit of fun there. In actuality the blue rose doesn't exist. Most of what you see being sold as blue roses are, in actuality, dyed white roses. It seems that nature did not provide the necessary genes for roses to produce a blue colored rose.
However, there is a company, Suntory Flowers, which is claiming to have grown the first blue rose. That's it on the right. Personally I call that color lavender. That in my opinion, is not a blue rose, I don't care what you bred it with.
Even though the real blue rose doesn't exist, the dyed blue roses do carry a meaning. So what does a blue rose mean? Well there are several different blue rose meanings.
Since the blue rose doesn't actually exist the mystery and curiosity behind its very existence is one of its meanings. Because the existence of a blue rose is fictional, giving a blue rose creates a sense of mystery and wonder.
Most of the meanings for blue roses stem from the fact that they don't exist. Another meaning for blue roses is the optimism expressed by new ventures, new opportunities, and new possibilities. Blue rose are often given as someone starts a new job.
The blue rose often serves as the symbol of the impossible, the unattainable. This blue rose meaning like the others stems from its fictional existence. Therefore the blue rose even though very desirable can equate to something that is not possible to achieve. In love it can symbolize unrequited love.
