I don't want to order one becasue I'm not too confident on ordering them for some reason. But my girlfriend is amazed by them and I was wondering How I could turn a rose black just at my house.

"black"roses are not really black but a very dark red. Here is a picture.
Buy black silk roses, mix them in with a bunch of real roses and put drops of essential oil on them. I'm sure your wife will like it.

There is no such thing as a real black rose sorry. The old lady who lived next door to me a few years ago almost perfected a blue rose, but unfortunately she passed away before it bloomed.

Instead of ordering 'real' black roses, you can order black leather roses. These are very pretty. You can mix them intogether with 'regular' roses as another answer was posted, and your girlfriend will love them.
I received some as part of a party favour once and still have it. Everyone who sees it asks me where I got it.
Good Luck!

I had to make some once, and the only method that worked for me was to dry them upside-down for aboput three days, then dip them in a light solution of black fabric dye and hang them over news paper to avoid unwanted staining. It worked, but was really labor-intensive and required re-dipping a few times to be trule black (worked out for me, though -- the almost-black red was even better than I thought)

You can't just turn a rose black to start with, it has to be special breed that way...ask your ? in lawn and garden.....do you or your g/f know that a black rose means death/ end of relationship....you need to know 'a lot' about gardening to produce a black rose!!...

you could try putting a purple rose near a red one to cross pollinate, but I would buy one, the name nearly black, and it's worth it.
