In nature, no.
Roses don't have a gene needed to produce delphinidin, which causes a blue pigment. Therefore, blue roses can't happen in nature. Blue roses exist only by either dying a white rose blue or by genetically engineering a rose plant.
Hope that helps!

And you thought blue roses didn't exist! Well, they do... sort of. They don't actually exist in nature, but through the grace of modern technology, blue colored roses exist at Dotflowers.com. Blue Colored Roses signify fantasies, hoping for miracles, new opportunities and possibilities. We hope that the recipient of your thoughtful and unique blue rose bouquet is blessed with all the wonderful things that the blue rose stands for.

Well not in the wild rose group - they are just basic colours. But there are hybrids that are blue - kind of a pale blue colour.

natural roses turned to unusual colors, that's possible! won't be able to tell how but it's a biological reaction due to some smoky things-saw that on TV. but 'natural' ones.....uhm, no!

No not in nature but they can be modified to be blue.

Yes -- they have created them using genetic engineering
