Roses Are Red Violets Are Blue

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
But is it really true?
Roses can be more than just red
While violets are violet or a blend of red and blue,
But why do poems say roses are red and violets are blue
If red is only one of the color variety that a rose possesses while violets
are actually violet or partly blue,
Or was it because they had no words that would rhyme,
But still to say all roses are red and violets are exactly blue.
