Introducing Morrissey's Blue Rose Society

The Blue Rose Society (BRS) are a group of Morrissey fans, who were brought together having discovered a website called MorrisseysWorld.blogspot.com. The Blue Rose Society was formed in November 2011 by the unknown author of the MorrisseysWorld site, who many of the BRS believe to be Morrissey himself. It is believed Morrissey formed the society in honour of his literary hero Oscar Wilde, who not only had a theme of roses running through his work, but also had his own society called the Green Carnation.

Just a few months after the formation of the BRS, Morrissey took to the stage with a backdrop picture of Oscar Wilde asking, "Who is Morrissey?" A coincidence?


Most of the members of the Blue Rose Society interact on twitter, or The Twitterdilly Arms as they like to call their 'online Morrissey theme pub'. The BRS members chat about all things Morrissey, but they also have an objective; to take roses to Morrissey's concerts, and offer them to Morrissey.

Morrissey concerts have always featured flowers, and in the early days of The Smiths in the 1980's, it was mainly gladioli, but since the inception of the Blue Rose Society, the only flowers that Morrissey has accepted on stage have been roses. A coincidence?

On October 10 2012, Morrissey not only accepted a blue rose from a member of the BRS at the concert at Radio City Music Hall in New York, but he wore it in his pocket:

Here is the video footage of Morrissey receiving and wearing the blue rose at Radio City Music Hall:



On March 2 2013, Morrissey again accepted and wore a blue rose at his Hollywood High concert in LA. This concert was filmed and released as Morrissey25:Live. A coincidence that Morrissey accepted and wore a blue rose during the making of his film?

On October 17 2013, Morrissey launched his Autobiography with a book signing in Gothenburg Sweden. Placed in front of Morrissey's table was a vase of roses, which he made a point of touching. A coincidence?


MORRISSEY TOUCHING THE ROSES IN GOTHENBURG - OCTOBER 17 2013

On December 11 2013, Morrissey returned to the stage after a nine month break, and sang three songs at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony in Oslo, Norway. He wore a bracelet of white roses. A coincidence?

On May 8 2014, in Santa Ana Ca, on the second date of Morrissey's new tour, Morrissey yet again accepted and wore a blue rose. Another coincidence?


MORRISSEY WEARING HIS BLUE ROSE IN SANTA ANA - MAY 8 2014


Here is the video footage of Morrissey receiving and wearing the blue rose at Santa Ana:


The MorrisseysWorld website tends to come and go, as does the twitter account, and some people just cannot accept that it could possibly be Morrissey behind it, but whether he is or not is irrelevant, he has shown many times that he fully supports the Blue Rose Society, and it is obvious that he wants to have roses brought to his concerts.

If you would like to join in the fun, then just wear a rose (preferably blue) to a Morrissey concert, and try to hand it to him. He won't always accept a rose, but that is part of the fun. If Morrissey doesn't accept your rose, then throw it onto the stage at the start of the encore.

The BRS interact on a blog called FollowingTheMozziah.blogspot.com, so please feel free to join us, or pop into The Twitterdilly Arms, by following any of these people:

If you ask @MorrisseyParody if he is the real Morrissey, he will tell you that he isn't, just as he did on his website True-To-You back in 2011..... but as Morrissey once said in 1987, "I lie a lot - it's really useful."

The BRS also have a theme tune, 'Trouble Loves Me', which has the words 'Blue Rose' hidden within the title. Coincidentally, Morrissey's new LP 'World Peace is None of Your Business' also has 'Blue Rose' hidden within the title.

Morrissey has even worn a blue rose on stage whilst singing the BRS theme tune. Another coincidence:
