It’s hard to look away once you lay your eyes on the Dark Night Rose. The outer petals of the cup-shaped blooms are a deep, velvety red. As the 4-inch wide flowers mature and the petals fold open, the creamy, yellow, inner petals are exposed, giving the flower a dramatic and unique contrast. The flowers of the Rosa Dark Night™ are slightly fragrant and bloom from late spring through fall.
The Dark Night Rose has a Hybrid Tea form that features one flower per stem, making them excellent cut flowers. The dark green glossy foliage gives the rose bush a full look and complements the unique flowers. Feature the Dark Night Rose in beds or borders, or add vibrant color to a porch or patio space by growing this bush in a container. The Dark Night Rose is disease resistant and heat tolerant for added convenience. This rose bush grows in zones 5 through 9.
Dark Night™ Rose Care
Select a spot with full sun and rich soil that is moist but promotes drainage. This rose bush is not picky about soil pH and can grow in alkaline, neutral, or acidic soil. Water new plants weekly during the first growing season. Established plants need water during a dry period.
The Dark Night Rose has an upright, bushy growth habit and an excellent natural form, but it still requires pruning. Remove crossed or old canes in the spring. Shape the plant and remove about one-third of the growth to encourage new, dense growth.
Dark Night™ Rose Spacing
A mature Dark Night Rose will reach 4 to 6 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide. Space shrubs 4 feet apart when creating a hedge or border, or allow more space to feature the Dark Night Rose as a focal point or specimen planting.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
