If the rose is two-toned blue and black, then it's probably because the Leather Pride flag is predominantly made up of black and blue stripes.

Do you mean the Black Rose? If that's what you're talking about then that's a bdsm group in the DC area.

But never heard of the blue rose.

Status: offline 		I would assume the link to BDSM has to be because of the "mysterious" symbolism and the idea of fantasy?

Status: offline 		I did some research on this once.  Some feel that the blue symbolizes the black and blue of bruises.  It was often made of leather and used in the original leather community. 

Until more recent years it was impossible to breed a blue rose so it was something that really stood out to see one.  Some use it only because it is different than the norm, which many feel would aptly describe someone in the BDSM lifestyle.  Something beautiful yet still a bit unusual for the average person.

Status: offline 		Never come across a blue rose as having any significance. However whilst Red Roses and the colours Black and Red hold some degree of traditional significance (Traditional being things used over time and having meanings depicting parts of the BDSM sub-culture which some find importance or appear to be a customary fad or fetish), there is nothing to stop you attaching your own significance to a Blue Rose if you choose and you can find others to agree with you. However thank you for bringing this up as I have a passion for blood roses, black roses and indeed blue roses all which are significant in my world.
