Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Between Ink Spots and Black Baccara I would recommed Ink Spots. Both are a small, somewhat formal bloom on a difficult plant. Ink Spots is, for me, the better of the two plants as in it is absolutely disease prone but not disease ridden. Compare EITHER of these two to OKLAHOMA which gives a big, fat, smelly, lusty bloom on a "decently" resistant albeit leggy plant and equally as is "black" in my opinion and there is no comparison..........

About the same. Oklahoma can get darker, it gets dustier and darker, it will lean more dusky purple and Ink Spots will be more red per se. Ink Spots doesn't "blue" much. Honestly? It escapes me why anyone would want a BLACK bloom on a rose or any plant. Oklahoma has scent, it smells like a ROSE. Ink Spots has no scent at all. Ink Spots was a huge FAILLLLL when released. Oklahoma should have been AARS. Ink Spots dies back, it is uneven. Oklahoma is weedy but reliable. Black Baccara can give gorgeous blooms. The blooms are usually the size of a miniature rose. And the plant is so weak. Anyone who alleges it (Black Baccara) does better than that is simply lying or is simply happy with miniature sized blooms on a large and sick plant.

Oh the "black" roses, I think 'Taboo' is the easiest, if you can ignore the minor mildew. Grows straight as an arrow. Easy to cut. Always dark and red. Good vigor. 'Black Magic' is probably the prettiest, but it has architecture issues, and seems prone to snap freezes.

The buds of this rose truly are close to black in color. The deep red bloom is lovely. In my Maryland garden it does well although the flowers are never perfectly shaped.
