Dark Night
HT
by Marina Wettig

Dark Night – You do not have to be a rose expert to grow Dark Night as it has natural toughness, above average disease resistance and the ability to produce an abundance of blooms in all kinds of conditions. The color is like nothing we have seen - a dark, velvety red finishing black-red on the inside with a reverse of light yellow suffused with red. Large buds are high-centered, unfurling to form cup-like blooms. Foliage is dark green and very glossy. If you're on the lookout for something different, give this rose a try! Flower size: 3-1/2-4". Fragrance: Very slight. Hybridizer: Meilland International.
