I had to replace my black jade this year. Definitely not black, but a dep
dark red. One of my favorites.

The one I was thinking of is the miniature Black Jade, I looked it up.


Check this out--click on the first photo on the left. It looks really

I've seen a couple of Black Jades and another of the so called "black"
roses
recently. Neither of them were even remotely black, not even dark red,
more of
a bright red, I was really disappointed in their color. They were
closer
to
the last photo of the set on HMF.
I wonder if these roses become lighter in our sun? Anyone in a strong
sun
climate growing any of the "black" roses?

It must be the strong sun. In Seattle, the mini Black Jade I saw last
week
was definitlely almost black. Yes, of course, you could tell it was
really
dark, dark, red. But practically black. Must be affected by the strength
of the sun.
