Is there a black rose in nature and breeding

Do black roses exist in nature?

Black roses do not exist in nature, since plants lack the genes responsible for black color. You can purchase only special varieties with the prefix "black", which in fact turn out to be a maroon shade, or you can color the flowers yourself.

The meaning of the black rose goes back centuries. Christians symbolize the torment of Christ with this original flower, and Kabbalists associate him with the focus of everything mystical.

How to paint a rose black

If you want to get a blue-black rose, you won't be able to grow it. But you can use a dye. Such a process can be carried out with children, because it is a developing and interesting experience.

Choosing a flower for painting

For your attempts to be crowned with success, pay special attention to the choice of the flower. First, it must be fresh. Take a rose with closed buds and a long, straight stem. Buy a white rose as it dyes best. As a last resort, you can take a cream flower for the experiment, but you may not achieve the desired result.

Inventory

To conduct the experiment, you will need:

• warm water;
• the container in which you put the flower;
• knife or secateurs;
• dye.

It is not necessary to use a special dye - coloring can be done with ink, gouache or even a marker refill. If you want to achieve the best result, use a special paint. Thus, the rose will look more natural and beautiful.

Painting process

Please note that painting will take you up to a day. As a result, the shade will change not only in the buds, but also in the leaves. Therefore, it is better to cut them off before painting. Dissolve the coloring component in water, add a pinch of sugar so that the color is better absorbed. Cut off the edge of the stem diagonally. The larger the cut area, the better the staining will be.

After pruning, lower the stem in water and wait for air bubbles to stop appearing on the surface. Dip the flower in water and keep at room temperature. The longer the flower stays in the water, the richer the shade turns out.

A black rose is a rare occurrence, so you can use it as a gift. The original bouquet of dark flowers will be appreciated by lovers of exotic and unusual things.
