Black roses do not naturally exist but have various symbolic meanings in different contexts.
Flowers
[edit]The flowers commonly called black roses do not really exist in said color, instead they actually have a dark shade, such as the "Black Magic", "Barkarole", "Black Beauty" and "Baccara" varieties. They can be artificially colored as well.[1][2]
In the language of flowers, roses have many different meanings. Black roses symbolize ideas such as hatred, despair, death or rebirths.[3]
Anarchism
[edit]
Black Rose Books is the name of the Montreal anarchist publisher and small press imprint headed by the libertarian-municipalist and anarchist Dimitrios Roussopoulos. One of the two anarchist bookshops in Sydney is Black Rose Books which has existed in various guises since 1982.[4]
The Black Rose was the title of a respected journal of anarchist ideas published in the Boston area during the 1970s,[5] as well as the name of an anarchist lecture series addressed by notable anarchist and libertarian socialists (including Murray Bookchin and Noam Chomsky) into the 1990s.
Black Rose Anarchist Federation is a political organization that was founded in 2014, with a few local and regional groups in the United States.[6]
