What is the flower language and symbolic meaning of the black rose?

One of the meanings of the black rose is "you are a devil," which can actually be seen as a kind of romantic play between lovers, so generally speaking, the black rose is more suitable for giving to a particularly intimate lover. However, this flower is really too rare, so few people give it.

I. Is the black rose actually black?

The rose belongs to the order Rosales, family Rosaceae, and is a deciduous shrub with many prickles on its branches. It has odd-pinnate compound leaves with 5 to 9 leaflets that are oval-shaped and have serrated edges. The petals are obovate, and the flowers are double to semi-double.

In fact, black flowers are extremely rare in nature, and true black flowers do not exist. The main reason is that black flowers can absorb all wavelengths of sunlight, heat up very quickly in the sun, and the flower's tissues are easily damaged. Therefore, what we often see are red, yellow, orange, and white flowers, because these flowers can reflect the red, orange, and yellow wavelengths of light that carry more heat in sunlight, avoiding scorching their delicate blooms. This is a form of self-protection in plants.

Black flowers, however, do not have this ability, so over the long course of evolution they were gradually eliminated. Therefore, the black flowers we see are actually deep red or deep purple flowers that are close to black, that is, what is commonly called in daily life "red so deep it looks black, purple so deep it looks black." Black peonies, black tulips, and black chrysanthemums are like this, and so is the black rose.

II. Types of black roses

The black rose, because of its unique character, has become quite popular among young people in recent years. At first glance it is not very eye-catching, but on closer appreciation one discovers that its blackness is mysterious and beautiful. Currently, there are two common types of black roses on the market. One is called "Black Magic," whose flower shape is regular and beautiful; its thick petals show red through the black and black through the red, with a thick velvety feel that gives a sense of luxury and mystery. The other is called "Black Beauty," whose flower shape is slightly smaller but appears more delicate and unique, with a deep black-red color that shimmers with a black-gold velvet-like luster.

Tip: Blue Enchantress, black roses, purple roses, and the like all need to be ordered in advance; ordinary flower shops will not keep them in stock.
