The blue rose is a flower of the genus Rosa (family Rosaceae) that has a blue/violet pigmentation instead of the more common red, white or yellow. Blue roses are used to symbolise mystery, the impossible or unattainable, but above all peace, calm, magnanimity and commitment.
The colour blue is very rare in nature, partly because there is no true blue pigment in the natural world. To appear this colour, molecules in both plants and animals have to perform tricks to make them appear blue to the human eye.
The answer is that theso-called “blue roses” that you can buy cut in the shop, are nothing more than white roses dipped in a colouring solution, or simply sprayed with a blue-coloured spray.
