Rosa ‘Pretty Black’ (Meifainoir PBR) is a modern creation from the renowned French rose breeder Meilland. This exceptional rose is considered the improved successor to the popular ‘Black Baccara’. Under the right conditions, its deep red flowers turn almost black and have a luxurious, velvety appearance.

The semi-double flowers grow to approximately 7–8 cm and contrast beautifully with the healthy, dark green foliage. From June onwards, ‘Pretty Black’ blooms abundantly well into autumn. The flowers have a light fragrance and also attract bees and butterflies.

Reaching a height of approximately 60–90 cm, this shrub rose remains beautifully compact. It grows bushy and upright, making it suitable for borders, rose beds, and as a solitary focal point. Its dark flower color also comes into its own beautifully in a large pot on the patio or balcony. The sturdy stems additionally make ‘Pretty Black’ suitable as a cut rose for stylish bouquets.

Plant Rosa ‘Pretty Black’ in a sunny location in fertile, well-drained soil. Regular watering and fertilizing ensure healthy growth and a long-lasting, abundant bloom.
