Were you a fan of the hit HBO TV show True Blood? I definitely was. I was hooked — hooked on it, I tell you. And it's because I've always loved gothic-themed and vampire-inspired stories.
So when I heard about these dark roses that look super cool and vampy I was all over them, and I think you will be, too.
They are typically red roses with a darker outer layer. This layer can resemble black, but it's actually a much more subtle color closer to maroon.
They do give you that true appearance of a gothic vibe. And I gotta say, I do find it really appealing.
The sellers advise to first germinate the seeds before you plant them. You will need are cold temperatures to initiate the germination process.
Then you need to put them in the veggie crisper drawer of your fridge for about 60 days. Make sure you write the date on your calendar so you don't forget it.
Imagine everyone's reaction when they see their dark and moody appearance? I think that would be some sight to see. I can't wait to order some ASAP.
I bet they will look absolutely beautiful wherever they end up. They can grow up to three-four feet tall and three feet wide.
Make sure they get a lot of sunshine or at least partial shade. Then, get ready to look forward to seeing their fantastic colors come alive.
These roses actually have black buds that bloom into a dark red flower. Black Beauty roses are a hybrid tea rose and more common than True Blood roses.
They grow best in Zone 6 areas or warmer. If you plant them in a container, you will need one that is three gallons or larger. Prepare to re-pot the roses every two-three years.
If you know someone getting married in October you may want to suggest them as a possible addition to their wedding bouquet. Wouldn't that look so beautiful?
I gotta say, they definitely sound amazing to me. I think it would be so cool to have them around right in time for Halloween.
