Black Roses Are Not True Black in Colour

When we describe a black rose, we are not talking about true black in colour; black roses are an extreme shade of dark red, maroon or purple in colour and are perceived as being black.
Black roses are exotic and amazing to look at; a little different but exquisite, dark and brooding. Black roses do not really exist in nature but have been "created" in laboratories. The genes are manipulated through cross-breeding, thus creating a "black" rose.

Black rose facts:
* Black roses belong to the Rosaceae family. * Black roses are actually deep red or deep purple, and do not exist in nature in a pure black colour. * Black roses like full sun; all in all they like up to 6 or 8 hours of sunlight every day. * These roses grow up to 4 foot tall. * As with all roses, black roses like well-drained, friable soil with plenty of nutrients. * These roses bloom right throughout the year. * Roses should be pruned annually, and black roses are no exception.
