Black Magic – Hybrid Tea Rose

Rosa ‘Black Magic’

Hybrid Tea Rose | Velvety Deep Red Blooms with Dramatic Elegance

‘Black Magic’ is one of the most striking Hybrid Tea roses available, renowned for its exceptionally dark, velvety red blooms that appear almost black in certain light. Elegant pointed buds slowly unfurl into large, perfectly formed flowers with a rich, luxurious texture and outstanding vase life. Borne singly on long, strong stems above glossy dark green foliage, the blooms are highly prized for cutting and floral arrangements. With its dramatic colouring, vigorous growth and repeat-flowering performance, ‘Black Magic’ brings timeless sophistication and bold beauty to the garden.

Water: Deep, regular watering; maintain even soil moisture during active growth and flowering while avoiding waterlogged conditions

Fertiliser: Feed in early spring, after the first flush of flowers and again during the growing season to encourage strong growth and continuous blooming
