   Hi David,   
   There are lots of songs about roses but not too many come to mind with "blue   
   rose". Mostly about red roses, yellow roses, neon rose, etc.   
   Pam Tillis had a song called "Blue Rose Is".   
   Mary Black also did "Bright Blue Rose".   
   Hank Snow did "Blue Rose Of The Rio".   
   That's about all I can think of right now.   
   George Morgan had one called "Red Rose From The Blue Side Of Town" but that   
   doesn't really qualify.  :-)   
      
   Take Care   
   Merle
