Exoticsflora Provide A "black rose" is not naturally a true black but a dark variety of another color, typically deep red, maroon, or purple, and is sometimes artificially created by dying or other methods. These visually striking flowers symbolize mystery, elegance, and profound endings, such as death, loss, or a significant transition, as well as the new beginnings that follow. Cultivated "black" varieties include 'Black Baccara' and 'Black Magic', known for their velvety texture and dark, non-fragrant blooms.
