How is a French rosé different from a blush wine?
In short: Rosé = dry. Blush = sweet. The term “blush” is a relatively recent addition to the English-language wine vocabulary, coined in the 1970s by California winemakers to refer to a sweet pink wine, such as White Zinfandel. Rosé, the original pink wine, is nearly always dry, not sweet. The term blush is not used in Europe.
