Cultivators have been working hard in trying to produce a black rose. While no jet-black rose yet exists, there are some of such a deep red as to suggest black. E.g., Rosa 'Black Magic' and, pictured above, Rosa 'Ruby Celebration. 'Alternatively, some florists dry fresh roses and dye them black.
And the meaning? There is some disagreement on this point, as is to be expected, since a truly black rose does not yet even exist. Many say black represents death and can thus be used as a symbol to express vengeance towards a foe. But others interpret that more liberally, suggesting as a meaning for black roses the death of old habits, thus signalling a rebirth.

It's the first time I've heard of this. My guess is it is a version of the black spot which was a symbol of bad luck. Just be sure that your mother's name being 'Rose' it isn't she who will get hurt! Speaking horticulturally, She can't literally send you a black rose as black roses don't exist! Is this and ongoing thing? has she always been mean to you? Talk to your other half but phrase it very carefully or he might accuse you of dissing his mother. Practise what you're going to say in front of the mirror. You could also try logging what happens, what she says, etc. A log would perhaps be more convincing. But through all of this continually remind yourself that You are being bullied and it has to stop! You your husband are equal and if she succeeds in destroying your confidence the relationship will suffer as a result. It is amusing to think that an anagram of mother-in-law is WOMAN HITLER! I really hate suggesting talking to her alone because it might do more bad than good, but it is as good a suggestion as any.

Meaning of Black Roses
The Victorian Era saw the beginning of the "flower language". Flowers afforded an outlet to communicate many sentiments that the straight-laced society considered improper. Hence, man has ever been fascinated with roses that were the most popular flowers used to convey emotions. But, black roses have always been in the background. There are no jet-black roses. Most people consider deep red roses to be black, for instance, the Rose 'Black Magic'.
The color black has always been synonymous with death and mourning. It is thus the color of sadness and farewell. So, many people consider black roses to symbolize bereavement, loss and mortality. Since black represents death, many interpret the black rose to mean vengeance that may lead to the death of a foe. The negative connotations here are far reaching, and make the black rose the least sought after among roses.
But, a more positive meaning does exist for the black rose. It is true that black is the color of death. But death does not always cause mourning. It can also be the beginning of new things, a journey into unexplored territory. The black rose, because it symbolizes death and passing away, also indicates a major change or upheaval in the future.
In that sense, the black rose also means the death of old habits and the old order. It inspires confidence and enthusiasm by signaling the birth of a new era of hope and joy.
This flower, tragic in its dark beauty is not always symbolic of unhappiness. The Irish have used the lyrics of "the Little Black rose" during their ongoing battle with the British. Similarly, many anarchist and antiauthoritarian groups have also adopted the black rose as a symbol of mutiny and strength. Therefore, the meaning of the black rose also includes courage and resistance.
But, the meaning of black roses is not very definite. And among lovers or friends, it is better to keep away from the black rose. The black rose does not have too many warm or positive nuances, and though it has been always admired for its beauty, it is seldom used to express affection

Can sending a black rose kill a person. I am asking it from you. If she felt satisfied by this non sense gift, then let her satisfy herself. You will remain healthy and fine for next 50 years I hope.

i wouldn't say it's a death threat if the receiver is goth or just likes black roses.... if there's no affinity on the receiver's end, maybe the giver likes black roses and thought it would be neat. it doesn't necessarily mean death.
..but it might.

Black roses signify death, hatred, or farewell. A single black rose might be sent by a close friend and or loved one leaving for a war or on a journey from which he did not expect to return.

pretty much what sir studs said. black represents death, and handing someone a black rose means, duh, death. just like red means love, yellow means friendship, white means innocence and so on.you can go to your local florist and they can tell you what all the colors mean.
of course, the person recieving the black rose likes black roses *shrugs*
