Thread: Halloween Rose Garden?!

Tweet

I had never heard of or seen purple roses before! Now I'm tempted to get one purple and one orange rose bush and have myself a Halloween rose garden! For me purple and orange are two of the essential Halloween colors, aside from black and I have never heard of black roses either. They would look so cool cut and in a vase for a Halloween party.

My mom's been into gardening for decades and has had roses in the past. I seem to recall that the purple and black roses have been around for a number of decades. And I agree they would look cool. I however didn't inherit my mom's green thumb so have to resort to buying my flowers

There isn't a black rose, but there are roses like the Black Beauty and Black Baccara that are a really deep burghundy colour that would make a lovely Halloween garden.

I'd say go for it! They aren't that expensive.

Check and make sure they'll be in bloom in Oct! I know mine bloom in late spring/early summer.

Those are BEAUTIFUL!

Check these out; I think you'll like them =)

Ooooooo, those calla lilies are pretty too!
I think I may go for one rose plant in each color. I'm a little nervous about killing them since I have never had roses before and my green thumb is a bit random on what it likes and when. It's like my thumbs have a mind of their own!

I have a neighbour who has black tulips and I freaking adore them. I intend to get some of my own, it's a shame they don't last long though.

Purple and Orange are very Halloween to me too! I just may try this next spring, and if I do I'll report on the outcome.

good timing on this thread! Ive been researching flowers and found some cool ones, I knew about the different colored roses but never did I think about planting those, and those lilies! Whoa! Thanks for the inspiration folks! I wanna plant these now!
