Roses have long been known as the “queen of flowers” with their graceful beauty, arrogance, and irresistible fragrance. The roses that symbolize love always have bright colors like red, pink, orange, yellow… depending on the variety of flowers.
However, have you ever seen black roses growing in the wild, without human intervention?
Images of solid black roses show up a lot on the internet, but they’re probably just a product of Photoshop.
On May 25, 2016, a Facebook page called Higher Perspective posted a video featuring the flower called “black rose” with a pure black color, growing completely naturally and only in a house. small town called Halfetі, southeast of Sanlіurfa province, Turkey,
Earlier, in 2013, rumors about this rose also spread, when the RocketNews24 page published a story about an extremely rare black rose. These perfectly black roses are said to grow only in very small numbers and only in the Turkish village of Halfely. The reason is because the soil conditions and the pH of the groundwater in the Euphrates River make the color of this flower a magical black color.
However, according to snopes.com (a website that specializes in correcting fake news on the Internet), in the process of citing news, people were confused about this flower. RocketNews cites information from a Japanese blog called Karapaіa. This blog is about a 2007 story published by Today’s Zaman, supposedly based on a local news article, published in Anatolia.
In the process of quoting each other, a series of mistakes gradually led to the birth of rumors about black roses that only grow in Turkey.
So far, no one has found evidence of black roses growing naturally in Turkey or anywhere in the world. The only species that come close to black roses are the deep red black magic roses or baccarat roses.
In fact, in a Daily Sabah newspaper article, people also mentioned black roses, but it’s actually not as black as the picture that appears online, but just red and black. This flower is also known as Karagül in Turkish. They have a very special aroma, which is why they become expensive business items.
In 2017, Hurrіyet Daily News, reported that Karagül has become rare and rarely grows in the wild due to changes in ecological dynamics. People are forced to put them in a greenhouse to grow. When in bud form they are quite dark black in color, as the flower grows the red color gradually appears.
