blue rose
Florist's mythical flower
A blue rose is a rose with blue pigmentation—something that doesn't occur naturally, since roses lack the genes for blue pigment.
The term often symbolizes mystery, impossibility, or unattainable desire: She was his blue rose, beautiful and forever out of reach.
Actual blue roses are created through dyeing or genetic modification.
