A Black Magic Bloom - Preston - a photo on Flickriver

            I took an afternoon stroll in the spring sunshine the other day, and I walked past this beautiful "Black Magic" rose which is thriving in the well maintained garden of a stylish 1930s Art Deco clinker brick villa.  

"Black Magic" is loved worldwide for its fascinating deep, dark red, almost black coffee coloured velvety petals and continuous flowering.  The blooms are a classic rose shape with a high pointed centre.  "Black Magic" is one of very few red roses to produce excellent blooms during our hot summers.  "Black Magic" was bred and introduced by Tantau in 1997.  Rosen Tantau, located in Northern Germany, has been breeding roses successfully for more than a century.  One of its specialties is the creation of Hybrid Tea Roses suitable for the garden and cut flower industry.  "Black Magic" has become very popular around the world as one of the best deep red roses which is relatively disease resistant and produces many quality flowers throughout the entire season.

Spring has finally come to Melbourne, and everywhere, gardens are bursting forth with beautiful coloured blooms in a profusion of colours after a wetter than usual winter.
