Aeonium arboreum—Aeonium black roses are not actually roses, but perennial succulents with large burgundy leaves that resemble flowers. Black roses require full sun to develop the dark color, but they will tolerate partial sun. They prefer well-drained soil with a slightly acidic pH of about 7 and are drought-tolerant. They bloom yellow flowers in the winter and provide a colorful display in the garden, in a container or in a sunny window. Black roses thrive in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9 through 11 and container plants can be kept outdoors year-round.

Water black roses deeply until the water drains through the bottom of the container about once a week from March through September. Allow the soil to dry until it's slightly moist at the root level between waterings. During the winter, reduce watering to once a month. Black roses planted in the ground require less watering than container plants, so feel the soil a few inches down near the roots to check for moisture. If it feels completely dry, water deeply.
