Welcome to the forum gardenbee. Not just roses but I love most blue flowers. Of course there isn't a perfect blue rose but they come close. Here is mine below......

It's an absolutely gorgeous rose Sheal!
As for your question, Gardenbee, I've never been a big fan of blue flowers. My favorite color of roses is white

Sheal ,that is one really gorgeous rose! Thanks a lot for sharing! I'm guessing in real life this rose looks a bit more bluish rather than purplish? For some reason I always have troubles when it comes to taking photos of blue or purple flowers :/

 

[Sheal]

Thank you Trellum. Yes, all blue roses tend to have a pink hue and pictures here on the internet tend to show a colour difference. If you can imagine taking a little of the pink out of my pictures then the rose is slightly bluer than you see here.

hummm, I call that color, the Lavender Rose. I had Lavender roses in my bridal bouquet along with queen anns lace. Lavender Roses are my favorite.

I like basically all colors of roses - especially if they're a nice bouquet from my husband!

In all seriousness though, I think it's just a stunning looking color for flowers. Very unique, and I think that's part of the charm!

@Sheal You have such beautiful roses and I love the close up shot of it!

I think blue rose or any type of flowers with blue tint is very special!

 

[Sheal]

Thank you IcyBC. I've just been going through my seed catalogues for the new growing season and I find it hard trying to resist all the blue flowers. That said I have restricted myself to just one. Nigella (Love in a Mist)

I have never grown blue rose. Your pictures are lovely. I have a question. Do we have a dark blue variety of rose?

 

[Sheal]

No Vinaya, there is no dark variety of blue rose, in fact there is no true blue rose at all. There will always be a pink pigmentation in the flowers.
