Black Rose Fact

Black Roses are not found in nature, but there are cool ways to experiment with dye and create a black rose.  But if you don't want black roses plant a white rose and turn a rose into any other color (and I'm sure a rose by any other name or color will smell as sweet ;-)  But then again, I did receive some purple roses from a boy once and they smelled awful.  But I don't think the ones he gave me were natural although they say lavender roses are real and grow in nature.

But anyways... back to the black rose...

1

Plant dark red roses in partial shade. (This will not work properly with light colored roses.)

2

Make root dye by mixing 1 tsp (4.9 milliliters) of black food coloring with 5 cups (40 fl. oz.) of water.  The smaller the rose bush, the less dye you'll need and the sooner it'll show up in the flowers.

3

Water the roses with the root dye once every two weeks. Aim for the center of the shrub. Repeat as needed.

4

Wait. It will take about a month for the dye to start showing up in the buds. Wait until the blooms are fully opened before you decide whether you should increase the amount of root dye used. In a couple of months, you should be able to sustain perfectly dark roses suited to your taste.   5
And... Voila! Or Walla (as urban dictionary says stupid Americans say because they don't know the French word "Voila" or "here it is")...

Anyways... Voila! You have zhe Black Roses!  Magnifique!
