No, there isn't. This has been the 'Holy Grail' of rose breeders for thousands of years. It hasn't been achieved yet even by genetical engineering. The only way to get a black or blue rose is by adding special chemicals in the water the cut roses sit in, which modifies the colour of the petals. The truth is, not only there are no black roses, but there are very few species of plants with black flowers altogether! Most of the times, what appears as black is in fact a very dark red or purple.
However, if you want a bouquet of black roses, I can recommend a few varieties with very dark petals: Baccara, Black Beauty, Barkarole and Black Magic.

Is There A Black Rose

A black rose is really just a dark purple color. There is no such thing as a true "black" rose. The closest thing is called a black baccara rose. Here is a picture:

While no jet-black rose yet exists, there are some of such a deep red as to suggest black.

I believe there are very deeeeeep purple roses that people sometimes call a black rose, but a true black I have never heard of (not a natural/real one anyway). I know that some guy kept cross-pollinating orchids to get like 1 black one after several years, so it is possible I guess if you have the time and patience.

Saw it in Udaipur, India at a botanical garden. As people say here it must be a very dark purple rose and not just jet black. but tough to differentiate.

No, no truly black rose. Breeders have been and are still trying, but the closest they can get is a deep red or Burgundy color. I honestly don't think they will ever get it because black is not a true color, but I'm sure they will get close eventually.
Here is an article about black roses:

There isn't a true blue either, but there are breeders in Germany who have gotten very close. If you are interested in seeing the blue roses here is the link:
