Black Jade Rose

This beautiful flower won the ARS in 1985 for minis, from a smaller breeder called Benardella. It is also called BenBlack in some regions of the world. Jade is a deep dark red flower that turns black in a hot sunny weather. The flower is not resistant to cooler weather and gets black spots every once in a while. The flower can be best grown in pots where they can manage themselves against climate. The flower grows in clusters with around 5 to 10 blooms in each stem. The flower opens up to reveal attractive, bright golden stamens, which looks beautiful in contrast to the very dark blackish petals. The foliage is dark and glossy.
