Black Magic Roses
Pictures Of Black RosesBlack Magic Roses, and more that 24 other roses, have been described as a black rose flower, although none is truly so. For as far as is known, black is not a pigment that exists in the rose family. Here are some of most popular and beautiful of the so called black roses.
Black Rose Flower
'Black Ice' rose
'Black Ice', is a cluster- flowered Floribunda Rose. The buds on this variety are actually very blackish, and when the flower opens reveal clusters of the darkest, most beautiful scarlet blooms, which are only slightly fragrant. They are full petalled and fairly large for a cluster-flowered rose. The flowers continue to bloom through summer and fall. The growth is below average height, compact and sturdy, with glossy green foilage. The name 'Black Ice' was given, because of the 'Iceberg' rose is in the parentage. Zones 4-9, height 2-3 feet.
'Black Beauty' Roses'Black Beauty' roses are large-flowered Hybrid Teas. These black magic roses appear black in the bud stage and
opens to a rich crimson-scarlett with the reverse of the petals a dark velvety blackish red. There is
little fragrance however.
The flowers keeps blooming all through summer and autumn. The plant bears the flowers on long stems,
which is true for Hybrid Teas, and the foilage is a medium green color. This rose is useful for cutting,
because the color's are so superb when the flowers come along.

The flowers of these black magic roses, are double and they bloom with abundance for a long time, although the repeat flowering is rather poor. The plants are good choices for pillars and tripods, growing to 10 feet or so. And they should be planted where the perfume can be appriciated as they are very fragrant.

black roses.
