Nature really doesn't make a true black flower. The flowers known as black are usually just extremely dark blue in colour.
Funny thing is, flowers that appear to be purple are called blue by horticulturalists.

This also includes a discussion on why there have been no blue roses so far.There are no black roses, only in fiction. Roses that are called 'black' are actually dark red.ANSWER: In all rose varieties, one color was long missing-blue. The gene for producing blue, delphinidin, does not occur naturally in the rose family. However, after years of joint research by an Australian company and a Japanese company, a "blue" rose was created in 2004 using genetic engineering. Further effort is needed, though, to achieve a bluer hue. from Awake magazine article
Are black roses really black?
To me, they look more like dark purple. I have seen some that looked black though, but I doubt they were real. They were probably just white roses that were spray painted. no. there is no such thing as a true black rose. Black roses are fed black color dye and so turned that color. the same could be done with any such color.
