Is black Baccara available in Islamabad/Rawalpindi Nurseries and any idea about the price?

Hamad

It is available. Try H-9 Nursery area. May be Umar Sb can help

Perfect spiral buds with 42 petal count with no fragrance.Pappa meiland is also very dark with fragrance but have lot of throns.Black baccara has lesser spines.to get darkest color don,t over feed,plant in filtred sun like the florist use to plant it in controlled green houses.Remeber many roses have different shades according to the sun light they get.Dark roses when exposed to full (8 hours sun light) they will turn normal reds.This is very common with D.D so thats why so many people get confused.The intensity of color also depends on tempratures.Hammad if you want the darkest for our climate then plant Nagret.

Thank you guys, Umer will I be able to buy Nagret from Islamabad?

Yes you can get it from Fateh Muhammad as potted plant.But its good if you purchase it in Dec-Jan as bare rooted.its hight is no more tham 3ft so keep it in front of tall hybrid teas or order a standard of it.

thank you Umer got the tip much appriciated.
