OTHER: What is a garden without roses? Their lovely very fragrant double blooms will delight you all season long!

About the Blue Rose - The blue rose is a hybrid. In nature, there is no such thing as a blue rose which has defined much of the symbolism surrounding the elusive blue rose. The first true blue rose is considered by many to first have appeared in 2004 but the flowers do still have a purplish or lavender hue to them. In relation to love, the blue rose symbolizes the impossible or the unattainable, but it also symbolizes prosperity. In some cultures (such as Chinese) blue symbolizes royal blood or majesty and splendor.
