with the wavelength ratio 1 + z we want 1 + z = 1/2 so v = -3/5 c = -0.6c if i calculated correctly (i did this in my head without a napkin), where the source moves away from the observer with velocity v. so it would have to move towards you quite rapidly.
I… how fast would it need to be going for a red rose to look blue.
assuming we want the frequency to double,
going by this formula: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshift

0.6 *300 000 km/s =180 000 km/s
