Overview

HYBRID TEA - INK SPOTS

The perfect black red.
  • No fragrance
  • Suitable for zones 7 - 10

 There's something alluring and mysterious about the near-black flowers. This is the darkest rose we offer. Its black pointed buds gracefully open to very well-formed velvety dark red blooms. 

 Super large dark green foliage covers the bushy plant. Stands up to all types of weather. Very dark. Size can shrink in heat.
