The Japanese firm Suntory spent 18 years of research to do what was long thought impossible: creating a blue roses. They achieved the feat by insteting pansy genes into the Cardinal de Richelieu, a mauve rose.
* Those 18 years of research are poised to pay off and then some. The potential market for blue roses is estimated at $303.5 million a year. Blue roses will debut in flower shops in 2009.

this is all i found
Rose Color Meaning:
White Roses - Innocence and purity Green Roses - Fertility Yellow Roses - Joy and friendship Lavender Roses - Enchantment Orange Roses - Enthusiasm, passion Red Roses - Love and romance Black Roses - Vengeance Blue Roses - Mystery and intrigue Pink Roses - Gratitude and appreciation Purple Roses - Love at first sight
Blue Roses symbolize mystery or something desired, but unattainable.
"Blue roses traditionally signify mystery or attaining the impossible. They are believed to be able to grant the owner youth or grant wishes. This symbolism derives from the rose's meaning in the language of flowers common in Victorian times."
