Frank's Flowers - The "Black Cherry" Rose



Frank's Flowers - The Black Cherry Rose
A few months ago I showed you how to Prune & Trim Roses and in that post I promised that I would show you how to start a rose bush from cut roses but I ran out of time and this will be one of the first posts in the spring next year.
However, this year I will still feature a few of my father's roses.
Today's Flower Feature is The Black Cherry Rose.
This stunning rose is a family heirloom.  My dad started this rose bush from a cutting that was taken from one of my "Oma's" (grandmother in German) rose bushes. The "Black Cherry Rose" has a color variance that looks exactly like a black cherry - in certain lights it looks deep burgundy red but with that "Bing" cherry glow, at times it can even look almost black (see the last picture below).  However, the scent of this rose is almost nonexistent - It's beauty makes up for the lack of scent. 

Please ENJOY this digital half dozen of "Black Cherry Roses" !

    The roses are stunning and such a rich color. I'm fascinated by the way its color changes, at times it looks as though it is lined in deep red-black velvet. An absolutely gorgeous rose specimen.

    Oh my goodness, oh my goodness! Such beautiful roses you have to share! The color (especially in that last photo) really does remind me of bing cherries! It's so great that it's also a family heirloom. LOVE IT!!!

    Those are beautiful!! I love roses, but plain red does nothing for me. DARK red makes me weak in the knees! Thanks for sharing with the "I love my post" party!

    Oh my how beautiful. I've neglected my garden in recent weeks and it is obvious. Thanks for giving me a virtual garden.
