I’ve run a Google search and drawn a blank, so here’s hoping YOU can help me.
A while ago, I saw pictures of roses that are chocolate brown and quite gorgeous – but I do not remember what they are called. And I can’t remember where I found the pictures. I think these roses are what I want in my wedding bouquet, since the future Mr. Contrary and I like the color scheme so . . .
Help me oh wise teeming masses!

Check out the Black Baccara. Is that what you’re looking for?

Oh that brown velvet one is just beautiful. And from the first link you provided, I did remember the name – it’s Leonidas, although the one shown isn’t brown.
Thank you!
