I am trying to locate a rose that was around in the 60's that is
almost black. My father had a rose bush in San Francisco in the 60's
and always wanted to grow them --- so now I am taking over his
mission. Thank you.

A very dark red, almost black, is Taboo. Nice rose. There may be darker.
Kentucky Derby is also dark red, but of the two, my Taboo is darker.
