Black Velvet is the darkest velvety burgundy.

February wouldn’t be complete without the ultimate romantic bloom—red roses. Most of the big, showy Valentine’s Day roses are imported from South America since there just aren’t enough grown in Australia to meet the demand.
This year, we’re loving Explorer, a dark red rose with a stunning star-shaped bloom. It’s thornless (a bonus for florists!) and holds its deep green foliage beautifully.
