The noble variety 'Black Baccara' has a fascinating dark, bordeaux red color that looks almost black depending on the incidence of light.

How should you water the 'Black Baccara' rose?
'Black Baccara' does not like excessive moisture and should therefore be in a rain-protected location. Water them regularly (but little!), especially when they are dry, and allow them to dry well in the meantime. Be careful not to get the leaves and flowers wet with water.
When and with what should the rose 'Black Baccara' be fertilized?
Like all roses, 'Black Baccara' is a heavy feeder and should therefore be fertilized once in spring before the leaves sprout and a second time in early summer. Organic fertilizers such as compost or horse manure are very suitable, but special rose fertilizers (€12.86) also provide the plant with everything it needs.
When is the right time for a pruning?
Hybrid teas are cut back in spring to stimulate the development of flowering shoots. In summer, after flowering, a second cut is made.
What is the correct way to prune the 'Black Baccara' hybrid tea?
In order for the 'Black Baccara' to form as many straight flower stalks as possible, it is cut back in spring to three to six strong shoots, each with three to five buds. You should also cut dead, frozen and damaged branches back into healthy wood. In summer, cut off the faded branches above the first full pair of leaves. In this way you stimulate the hybrid tea to bloom a second time.
Which diseases are particularly common in the tea rose 'Black Baccara'?
Powdery mildew and blackspot are common, both of which are fungal diseases. The rose should be severely cut back and treated with an appropriate agent to prevent further spread.
What pests should you watch out for in Black Baccarat?
As with all roses, aphids feel particularly at home on the 'Black Baccara'. Check regularly for an infestation and treat the plant accordingly.
What's the best way to get 'Black Baccara' through the winter?
