Rose Black Magic details

What colour is Rose Black Magic?

The dramatic colour is the main attraction of Black Magic.

Its flowers can display:

• deep red
• dark crimson
• burgundy
• wine-red
• near-black shading

The darkest tones are often more noticeable in cooler conditions, while warmer weather may produce a brighter deep red appearance.

This makes Black Magic particularly suitable for gardeners looking for a dark red rose or a near-black Hybrid Tea rose.

Fragrance

Rose Black Magic has a mild fragrance.

Its main appeal is its colour, elegant flower form and suitability for cutting rather than a strong perfume.

Where to plant Rose Black Magic

Choose a sunny position with fertile, well-drained soil.

Its dark flowers combine especially well with:

• white roses
• cream roses
• pale pink flowers
• lavender and purple flowers
• silver foliage
• ornamental grasses

Black Magic works particularly well as a feature rose or as part of a darker, dramatic planting scheme.

Allow approximately 60–80 cm between plants for mature growth and good air circulation.

Planting your bare-root Black Magic rose

Unpack your rose promptly after delivery and keep the roots moist until planting.

Soak the bare roots in water for several hours before planting to help rehydrate them.

Choose a sunny position with fertile, well-drained soil.

Dig a planting hole wide enough for the roots to spread naturally without bending or crowding.

Backfill with soil, firm gently and water thoroughly.

Bare-root roses are best planted during the dormant season when the soil is neither frozen nor waterlogged.

Explore Bare Root Roses

Rose Black Magic is supplied as part of our Bare Root Roses collection during the dormant planting season.

Autumn and winter are excellent times to establish bare-root roses, allowing the roots to settle before strong spring growth begins.

Caring for Rose Black Magic

Water regularly during dry periods, particularly during the first growing season.

Apply a suitable rose fertiliser during active growth according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Remove faded flowers regularly to encourage repeat blooming.

Prune in late winter or early spring by removing:

• dead stems
• damaged growth
• weak shoots
• crossing branches

Then shorten healthy stems to encourage strong new flowering growth.

Good sunlight and air circulation will help maintain healthy foliage.
