Black rose is a rare table grape developed in 1941. Parentage: (Damas Rose X Black Monukka) X Ribier (Alphonse Lavallee), all Vitis vinifera varieties. From Brooks and Harold Olmo, "Cluster: large, conical. Berry: large, high quality, skin jet black with a light grayish bloom."
This grape is not commercially viable due to the short shelf life. In addition, the delicate skin makes transportation difficult. The plant itself is very disease resistant.[citation needed]
