Blush wine comes from red grapes. The skin is removed to limit the amount of tannins (extreme dryness) in the wine. The resulting wine is pink in color. Some people mistakenly believe that blushes come from mixtures of red and white, but this is not so. Generally blushes are made with Zinfandel or Merlot grapes, but it is possible to use any grape (Grenache, Cinsault, etc.) Some are actually decent to drink.

It's a marketing name, usually used to describe mediocre rose, predominently from the U.S.
Rose is essentially white with some skins added to give it colour and flavour. Whilst rose used to be sneered at by wine buffs, the variant is more respected in recent years and they can be very good these days, but I would avoid anything named blush myself!

It's a term developed by California wineries to sell rose wine. As a marketing ploy the companies believed blush would be another angle to sell besides rose.
