Black Rose

The rosebuds are just as dark, and when fully developed, the flower takes on the colour of an intensely rich red wine.

The black rose (karagül), which is grown only in Halfeti district of the southeastern province of Şanlıurfa in the world and takes its unique color and smell from the soil where it grows, is carefully harvested for use in various fields.
