Dancing in the dark
Description
Bold and dramatic, Dancing in the Dark™ produces velvety, deep crimson-red blooms that deepen toward near-black as they mature. The fluted petals give each flower an elegant, distinctive form, while the dark green foliage creates a beautiful backdrop for the rich color.
This compact, bushy rose reaches about 3–4 feet tall and flowers generously from spring through fall. Its mild fragrance, excellent cutting stems, and ability to tolerate a little afternoon shade make it a versatile choice for garden beds, containers, and bouquets.
