Black Forest – Bare Root refers to the Black Forest rose supplied in dormant, soil-free form with exposed roots. Bare-root roses are lifted during winter dormancy and sold without soil, making them easier to store, transport, and establish when planted in late winter to early spring.

About Black Forest (Rose):

• A dark-flowering rose variety, typically classified as a hybrid tea or shrub rose depending on the selection
• Produces deep red to very dark crimson blooms, often appearing almost “black” in bud or in low light
• Flowers are usually large, elegant, and well-formed, often grown for visual impact or cutting
• Grows as an upright bush rose, suitable for garden beds and feature planting

Fragrance:
Black Forest generally has a light to moderate fragrance. Its main appeal is the dramatic, very dark flower colour rather than strong scent.

Bare-root planting notes:

• Soak roots in water for several hours before planting
• Plant in a sunny position with well-drained soil
• Space well to allow airflow and healthy growth
• Water regularly during establishment and mulch to retain moisture
