The Legend Of The Blue Rose ©

There is a story of a poor maiden and a prince separated by miles and privilege. You see the two had met one day in the village. He on his mighty steed and her pushing the flower cart she used to make a few shillings. He was mesmerized by her beauty. However this kind of love was forbidden as royalty was expected to see only those of like privilege. It wasn't long after their first meeting before he planned visits to the village. He had to travel under the cover of darkness, but it forged the bonds of true love between the two. He knew he had to keep their relationship a secret. So he devised a way to let her know he was thinking of her by using the Language of Flowers to convey his feelings. The Language of Flowers was used in Victorian times to send special messages or feelings without using words. A red rose signified love, a pink rose… desire, etc. He began leaving roses of different colors placed in strategic places for the young maiden to find. As time went on he found every rose color imaginable. They were left at her door and secret meeting places. But there was one rose color that escaped him. The elusive blue rose. The Blue Rose signifies mystery, intrigue and the obtaining of love that might, at times, seem to have numerous obstacles to overcome. One such obstacle soon presented itself. He had to leave for a period of time. He was not able to explain things fully to her but he promised her he would return for her. Many days and nights would pass. One day she found a note tacked to her door. It simply said..."Come to the garden". She turned the corner to the garden path and an intoxicating aroma of roses filled the air. As she approached her garden she saw him, he had come for her. He stood surrounded by hundreds of red roses and one blue rose in his hand. He gave up everything to start his life over again with her. You see for love, and in matters of the heart, what might seem unattainable for some is only a matter of knowing where to look. Your very own heart. © The Legend of The Blue Rose is Copyrighted by Kemper Lake Group.
