Black Roses – The Truth

Mother Nature has not produced a “Black Rose” per say.  People like to use black roses for many different fun occasions like to celebrate a birthday of a friend who is over the hill or for Halloween fun or just for a different look.  The only thing close to a black rose are the very dark red roses referred to as Black Magic Roses or Bacarra Roses.  There is no such thing as a real black rose that Mother Nature has produced.   

Black Magic Roses.  These roses are dark red in color with a little black that gives the roses a silky look.  They make a beautiful bouquet for the bride to be and is the most sought after rose for the “bride to be.” 

Bacarra Roses.  When people are looking for black roses many of them do not know that bacarra roses are the closet roses to getting a black rose in nature.  Bacarra roses are darker red with more black around the edges.  They are a tinge darker than the black magic rose.  So when looking for real fresh black roses; the bacarra rose is the closest thing you will get to a real live freshly grown black rose anywhere in the world.   The bacarra rose conveys a sense of magic due to its deep blackberry color. When placed under dim lights, the black bacarra rose appears mysteriously black.

Black Roses Tinted.  If you have received black roses in the past they were tinted black with dye or black food coloring.  Black roses can only be found in silk or other types of cloth form or found as a dark red rose tinted black.   There are a very limited number of  florists on the internet that will tint black.; here at Roses Dozen; I have done the searching for those of you looking for a tinted black rose.
