If blue roses didn't exist until 2004, how could they "traditionaly signify mystery"? --81.136.195.168 13:59, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

My guess would be that long ago, people found other flowers that were blue - hence .. the mystery of the blue rose .. [[User:Ufoome] 11/10/05

White roses were dyed blue, much as white carnations.

The Blue rose is a mythological symbol, something florists have tried for centuries to cultivate. I know of a Discover magazine with more information on them: when I find it in my library, I'll add its information to the article.

Basically, they were "mystery" because no one could figure out how to breed one naturally. You had to dye them from white, so they were an enigma. ♠PMC♠ 05:29, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Meaning of the blue rose

After I had a very nice, very confusing dream involving a blue rose, I decided to look around the Internets and see what exactly my subconcious was saying. I found multiple meanings for the blue rose--divine love, fantasy, the impossible, mystery, miracles, new possibilities, caution, and an appreciation for the enigmatic. Should we outline these meanings as well or leave them be? --Kiwi 21:29, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jimmy Nail song

Jimmy Nail did a song on his album 'Crocodile Shoes II' called Blue Roses, where he sings; Blue roses will blossom in the snow, before I ever let you go, Blue roses will grow up to the sky, before I ever make you cry... I think the song also mentions this is from a nursery rhyme. Does anyone know what it is? I also get the feeling the song could be a cover. --JaffaCakeLover 14:47, 21 November 2006 (GMT)
