Line 18:
"Blew" is an old spelling of "blue". Both roses and violets exist in varieties of many colours. ''Viola sororia'' and ''Viola odorata'' are the bluest violets; red roses are hybrid teas of the genus ''Rosa''.
 
It has [[Dead Horse Trope|often been parodied]]. For a selection of such parodies and variants mostly written by tropers, see the [[Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue/Quotes|Quotes page]].

{{quote|"Roses are red, violets are blue."<br />
That's what they say, but it just isn't true.<br />
Roses ''are'' red, and apples are too,<br />
But violets are ''violet''. Violets aren't blue.<br />
An orange is orange, but Greenland's not green<br />
And a pinky's not pink. So what does it mean?<br />
To call something blue when it's not, we defile it.<br />
But ah, what the heck: it's ''hard'' to rhyme "violet".|'''Dot Warner''', ''[[Animaniacs]]''}}
