Are there any species of rose that produce black flowers? Where could I buy them?

In reality no pure black flowers exist. The so-called black tulip is actually very dark purple and the black rose is, in fact, very dark red. There are other less common cut flowers which occasionally occur in "black" forms - they all ooze decadence, mystery, fascination.





With their very unusual petals, black roses make you think of velvet - deep soft cushions in a luxurious winter room. All this topped with the wonderful scent of flowers! With the black rose you float away to exotic places which are filled with the scent of roses. Boudoirs of plump maidens relaxing in perfumed harems.








Combining black roses in a bouquet is not easy, but not impossible. To maintain the mystical feeling of the black, one of the best combinations is black roses with black ivy berries. They are available at the florists throughout the winter. The red-black of the rose with the blue-green black of the berry creates a perfect harmony.


The darkest roses to ask for include "Black Magic", Barkarole", Black Beauty" and "Baccara".

genetically its impossible. flowers produce a color that attracts its pollinator. typically yellow,red, pink, orange, and in some cases blue or purple. but black is not a color known to pollinators thus the plant would not have any reason to produce black petals. sorry. you can still get black roses but they wont be natural. and you cant grow them.
