Roses are Red; Violets are Blue


But roses are blue as well.

And purple. Deep purple. Almost black.

Actually, some are black. Black roses.

Perfect for February Fourteenth. Vampyre’s Day.

Vampyre’s prefer black roses over red.

But they also find red appealing…

    I have a deep red rose bush. When the blooms are almost spent they turn black. It is exquisitely beautiful

      I do like a black rose, Raili. They are unusual, but in a good way.

      I have seen a couple, Eugenia. Black roses and black tulips. Unusual, but effective looking.

      They do have their own feel with them, Elaine. I do like them myself, however! 😀
