Goth

Okay, added the Goth thing here, because the Black Rose page is just a disambiguation page. It is different in that it isn't just a product of imagination or a simile, but an actual object (though synthetic). Therefore; I hope it is okay to leave here. It had to be mentioned somewhere! Though there used to be a gothic gardener page years ago that showed a hybrid which was so dark blood-red that it almost looked black. Still I suppose even if a hybrid were created that was onyx, you still couldn't say it existed in nature per se! Khirad^talk 04:01, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fable: The Lost Chapters

Someone should check whether I interpreted the part about Fable correctly. Btw, I think it's better if all entries were sorted alphabetically and every one of them contained at least a line about symbolism. --Koveras 14:29, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nas cover picture

I added it in the article. I think it belongs here aswell. Sabertooth 00:10, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's OK, though, I'm not sure whether unfree images may be used to illustrate such abstract things... --Koveras ^☭ 06:22, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Revolutionary Girl Utena

The article mentions Souji Mikage being a teacher. Actually, he is a student; however, his fellow students call him The Professor because of his cold, calculating genius. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wolf81 (talk • contribs)

.hack

Perhaps I am mistaken, but I was fairly certain that in the video games .hack//infection through .hack//quarantine, as well as the preceeding anime series, there was a character named BlackRose.

All in the interest of completion. 63.162.234.2 18:17, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Phantom of the Opera

Whenever I think of a black rose, I think of The Phantom of the Opera. Is it worth mention?64.74.212.1 —Preceding comment was added at 03:44, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Edited anarchist section

I removed the sentence on the Irish folk song from the section on anarchist use of black roses as the song as nothing to do with politics http://www.irishfestivals.net/littleblackrose.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.99.59.162 (talk) 15:47, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Arms Dealer?

Is there a citation for this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.137.128.93 (talk) 02:24, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sentences removed

I removed the two sentences about 'chikis' and 'nena' as they do not seem to be relevant to the article. --KägeTorä - (影虎) (TALK) 14:03, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Moved comment from Article to Discussion

I question this statement the black rose is very rare but not nonexistent. A black rose bloomed in Duarte Calif. in Oct 1962 in the back yard of Dennis Richard Barry currently of West Covina California. You must contact him for details. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.112.53.220 (talk) 22:23, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This comment was in reference to the statement that "Black roses (roses of black color) do not exist in nature as such." I moved this comment from the article to here.

To the author of this comment: thanks for the input. One aspect of the value that Wikipedia brings is that all information must be verifiable. If you can confirm this information through an reliable source, feel free to edit the article to reflect this, appropriately citing the source. If you need help to do this, please leave a note here and I'd be glad to assist. Jim Reed (Talk) 23:42, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've been off and on interested in the possible or impossible existence of black roses. Especially since the advent of genetic manipulation. There is no non-hued black rose found yet. What would really be interesting is if it were proven to be genetically impossible because of some interference with other parts of the rose genetics, but I haven't found that yet either. As for now, no way jose. It does not, nor ever has even as an absurd mutation, existed genetically. Tgm1024 (talk) 17:03, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Symbolism in Pop-Culture

This page is to explain some of the "symbolism". Giving examples of the symbolism of the black rose in pop-culture fits that criteria. If there is to be a section of symbolism in politics, it's only fitting that another section be added to explain the symbolism in another area. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GeneralRidley (talk • contribs) 21:24, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I will endevor to find as many of the references this section needs, and remove ones that don't fit. Give me time. Please don't delete the section. I'm working on it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GeneralRidley (talk • contribs) 21:44, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 8 May 2022

Black rose (symbolism) → Black rose symbolism – Since this page isn't for disambiguation, it shouldn't be structured with a parenthetical. For examples of this convention, see Plant symbolism, Human skull symbolism, Black and white hat symbolism in film. ~BappleBusiness^[talk] 06:00, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom (and I support the "Talk:Rose (symbolism)" and "Talk:Serpent (symbolism)" concurrent move requests as well). Paintspot Infez (talk) 21:28, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
