Black Magic suits gardeners who care about bloom shape and a more formal rose presence. Its colour, scent, and upright habit should be judged together before choosing a visible planting spot.
Cultivar overview
Black Magic is a hybrid tea from Rosen Tantau. Introduced in 1995, it is best understood through its deep red (almost black buds, black-edged appearance) colour, light scent profile, and repeat bloom habit. Its light fragrance keeps the focus on bloom colour, form, and garden placement. Repeat flowering makes it easier to plan for more than one moment of interest during the season.
Garden character and use
Its hybrid tea character suits gardeners who want a clearer bloom outline and an upright plant that can hold attention near paths or seating areas. At about Up to 10 ft (approx. 300 cm)* by 6 ft (approx. 180 cm), it needs a position where mature growth will not feel crowded. Its deep red (almost black buds, black-edged appearance) colour gives it a strong, dramatic colour presence for gardeners who want the bloom to read from a distance.
Bloom, fragrance, and care notes
Black Magic is useful when repeat bloom matters more than one dramatic flush. Consistent watering, sun, and room for airflow will help keep the plant easier to enjoy through the season.
