Landscape Notes: The Black Baccara rose is a striking hybrid tea rose known for its unique and intense color, often described as a deep, velvety red that appears almost black in certain lights. This rose's distinctive appearance makes it a popular choice for gardeners and florists who want an elegant, dramatic effect.
Characteristics:
Color: The blooms have a deep, dark red hue, sometimes with a blackish tint, especially on the outer petals. The color darkens as the bloom matures, with cooler temperatures enhancing the blackish appearance.
Shape and Texture: Black Baccara roses have classic hybrid tea rose shapes, with high-centered blooms and layered petals. Each flower is typically 3-4 inches in diameter and has a velvety, almost satin-like texture.
Fragrance: This rose has a subtle, mild fragrance, less intense than other rose varieties.
Blooming: This variety tends to bloom in late spring and may continue producing flowers until early fall. The flowers grow individually on long stems, making them ideal for cut arrangements.
Exposure/Culture: They thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and color. Well-draining, rich soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH is ideal for these roses. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry spells, but avoid overwatering as the roots do not tolerate standing water.
Other Notes: Pruning is essential to promote healthy growth and abundant blooming. Black Baccara roses are somewhat sensitive to cold and may require protection in colder climates.
