Although there are many varying shades, tones and colours of roses throughout the world, the classic red species is the staple image that comes to mind when on the subject of this popular flower. However, there is a region within Turkey, close to the Euphrates river by the name of Halfeti, which happens to be the indigenous home of the world's only black rose. This rare beauty wouldn't be possible without the unique soil conditions and rare composition of ground water running in from the aforementioned river. The local people of the region have contrasting beliefs about this flower. Some say it is a symbol of mystery, while others denounce it as a prophecy of death!
