'Oklahoma' is black-red and was released in 1968.

Taboo was not released into commerce (in Eurpoe) till 1988, and not in
the U. S. till 1994. So, while other parts of the description fit Taboo,
being grown in the sixties by the original poster's father in his SF
garden makes that rose unlikely to be Taboo.
