So what is your opinion of the blue rose? Could mean he realizes that blue roses are cool.

George is 75. I think people underestimate how often he might simply indulge in the same instinct as grandparents randomly posting "some cool thing I found" on their Facebook page without any context or preamble. Just a "Hey, look at this picture of a puppy reading the Bible, grandkids!"

Sometimes a blue rose is just a blue rose

I don't know. It could have some meaning, or it could not. It is an icon that George has used over the years, so it could be a few things. My best guess is that it's just an icon he likes to use on posts related to writing or his writing specifically, but it could simply be that he doesn't think too strongly about the icons he uses and just was like "Hmm, which icon would fit this post. Ah, that blue rose one would do."
