I'm just curious. I know this sounds weird and I might sound uneducated, but are black roses just romanticized ideas by the silly minds of Gothic fashion fans, or is it actually possible to grow black roses?

For the meantime, you can try a dark purple rose. Those are always hanging around in flower shops sometimes. [ Imperialistic's advice column | Ask Imperialistic A Question ]

MotherJune answered Saturday February 4 2006, 4:06 pm: Currently there are no real black roses, they do not exist. Attempts are being made to cross-breed the darkest red roses available in an effort to create a marketable black rose, but so far they are not there yet. Some places sell fresh roses that are dried and then dyed black. [ MotherJune's advice column | Ask MotherJune A Question ]
