Blue Roses
Blue roses . . . are actually a lavender violet color when grown. Several varieties, such as "Cool Water" and "Blue Curiosia" are very pretty, but you can see a definite pink hue to the rose. 
These roses below have are Holland blue-dyed roses to get the deep, vibrant color of royal blue. Lots of bling-bling has been added to these flowers, including a dip in silvery paint and a mist of silver flower glitter. 
Silver bullion wire and other decorative wire can add a lot of sparkling interest to these flowers!
