Do black rose really exist? Did you ever see it? If yes then do you like it?
Actually i didn't see any black rose but i heard it exist. Lot of people see it in my country and they have. Some people's favorite flower is black rose in our country. It's very expensive flower and really rare.
What do you think is it exist or not?

Though symbolic meanings may differ, the interesting truth is that black roses do not even exist. What many believe to be black roses are actually dark-red colored roses, which have such a deep color that they appear to be black. Perhaps someday not too far in the future a black rose will exist as many in the field are working with the myriad of rose varieties and colors to come up with the coveted black formula.

No my friend. People of country they know what is dark red and what is black.
These two are different color.

I beg to differ my friend...that there are NO TRUE BLACKroses.
No true black roses exist. Roses sold as black ones are really a dark maroon. So far, the only "black" rose has been the product of chemical manipulation (dyes), but these roses tend to get their petals badly scorched by the sun. Manipulation of the genes for color is being attempted, but so far without any success.
Although cultivators have been working hard in trying to produce a black rose. No jet-black rose yet exists, there are some of such a deep red as to suggest black; e.g., Rosa 'Black Magic' and, Alternatively, some florists dry fresh roses and dye them black.

Person above is is actually correct. Black rose doesn't exist in nature. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_rose_(symbolism). It is darker shade of red that appears to be black. Sometimes people take these dark red roses or even white roses & dye it with black. It that case, rose itself is natural flower but the color (black) is an artificial color.

I don't know if there are actual black roses. But I do know that you can colour them. I have done this with tulips, but I think it should work with roses too. I have seen blue roses that has been dyed that way.
What I did was simply to use "food colouring" (I don't know what it is called, in Sweden you can buy it in little bottles and you use it in food if you want to colour cakes or candy etc). You just put a fair bit of colour in the water. After a day or less the flowers petals have changed the colour towards the water colour. Just remember what colour flower it is, ie if you have a yellow flower and put blue in the water you will get a green flower.
Of course this only works with cut flowers, and I would expect only with flowers that "drinks" a lot of water!

Wow! I have never seen a black rose in my entire life. Have you seen one already? I a curious, does it signify something bad? Besides, I have never seen a black flower in my whole life. Only a black cat. But If in your country it does exist, the its a musts see.

I've alrady heard about it but I have not seen one yet. I would love to see one though since it is very rare. I am not sure if there are any Black Rose where I'm living right now. However, I've heard about this flower a lot of times. I only see Black Rose in a picture, paintings and novels. That's the reason I am not sure if it exists.

whatever it really exist or not,life should be fill with beautiful dream. if you think it's ture, it's ture. just like the magic show, if you find out the truth, it will not be beautiful any more.
so, I'd like trust the black rose is really exist, case it's beautiful.

I believe they make black roses, but I think they are colored to be black. I prefer to leave flowers where they grow that way I can see them longer vs. them dieing so quickly. I love seeing flowers all kinds.

it does exist. It's a mix hybrid of many generations of red and violet, darkned to make it so purple that it looks black. There is even a cool story book made based on it

i dont think it really exist at all..some were just faking the color by using white roses and dipping it to a flower vase with a water mixed with black color die..that is why it turns into a black one..but ill still check on that in the net..regarding that bangladesh has black roses..coz here in our country we also have that kind by faking the colors of the rose..
