Black Baccara® Rose Bush

Black Baccara® Hybrid Tea Rose: Dark. Dramatic. Utterly unforgettable.

Rosa ‘MEIdebenne’ – Hybrid Tea Rose

What you’ll get: #1 Bare Root (Budded)

Black Baccara® is a show-stopping Hybrid Tea rose with velvety, near-black buds that unfurl into deep, dark red blooms with a satin finish. Each flower measures 4–5 inches across with around 45 petals, creating a lush, high-centered form that looks as though it was made for long-stemmed vases.

While its fragrance is subtle, Black Baccara® more than makes up for it with continuous blooms from spring through frost and a remarkable vase life of up to two weeks. A florist’s favorite for its unique color, it’s equally striking in the garden, borders, or large containers.

Compact and upright, this rose reaches about 3–4 feet tall, with glossy foliage and good disease resistance, especially in warmer, drier climates. If you’re after a rose that’s romantic, modern, and dramatic all at once, Black Baccara® deserves a spot in your collection.

TL;DR?
Black Baccara® is the ultimate cutting rose — a moody, velvety beauty that blooms nonstop, lasts up to two weeks in a vase, and looks just as dramatic in the garden or container as it does in a bouquet.
