Frequently Asked Questions
What is special about black roses?
Their colour. They look almost black, but no rose grows truly black: the darkest varieties are a very deep red. Garden Guides explains that the darkest varieties, such as 'Black Magic' and 'Black Beauty', are rich in dark red pigments that create the illusion of black. The HelpMeFind rose database lists the florists' rose 'Black Baccara' as a dark red hybrid tea.
Where can I buy black roses in South Africa?
Not as true black blooms. When we checked in October 2026, our retail partner NetFlorist had no black roses, so the closest you can get through us is deep red roses, including Red Roses in a Black Gift Box.
The closest match to a black rose is a deep red one, and some arrive in a black gift box. Browse our red roses for the darkest options.
