The Black Rose

The Black Rose

I held my breath, breaking out in sweat as his proximity made fear spread through my now shivering frame. "You see... The Black Rose is a bad crowd to stick with. They'll lead you to your death. As a friend and a man who's insanely attracted to you... I advise you to cut all ties with them." His smile remained on his face, his voice still the same low, soft lilt it had been since he started speaking. Yet... There seemed to be venom in every syllable, burning through my skin like acid, making my heart pound painfully against my chest. I was afraid. This man... there was something about him, something sinister. He was going to hurt me. He wanted to hurt me.

Alpha’s Howl of Regret

Alpha’s Howl of Regret

Whenever she showed the slightest reluctance, she received punishment by flames that left permanent scars. Rose looked at one of my photos Marcus had dropped nearby, her eyes filled with hatred. It was from our mating ceremony - I looked so happy, so innocent, so trusting. "Serena Cross, it's all because of you!" "All my suffering today is thanks to you." Looking at the photo where I smiled so brightly, Rose picked up a nearby stone and viciously scraped it across the image. She gouged out my eyes first, then my smile. "Serena Cross, I want you dead!"

Eclipsed Hearts: The Chronicle of Shadows and Stars

Eclipsed Hearts: The Chronicle of Shadows and Stars

The scent of roses clung to the air, thick and sweet, but there was nothing gentle in the garden where Serenya had been cast. The blossoms were not flowers at all—at least not natural ones. Their crimson petals shone faintly under moonlight, shimmering with a sheen like wet blood. Their thorns were long, curved like hooks, and when she reached too close to push aside a vine, it snapped forward, drawing a line of red across her wrist.

Rose And Darkness

I smiled smugly, feeling pleased with myself. "Please stop!" She whispered, when the fit of coughing had stopped. "I am very asthmatic and the last thing I need right now is the obstruction of my airway!" Her tenor voice cracked as she screamed at me My response was to drag on Harder on my cigarette and puff out the smoke on her face. She coughed and coughed while I laughed in glee. She gave me a hateful, murderous glare. It was quite laughable,with the tears streaming down her face.

THE NIGHT ROAMER : Dah'ila Reborn

THE NIGHT ROAMER : Dah'ila Reborn

She spoke in an unclear way that Zaiya could not understand. "Once, two remarkably beautiful roses sat on a small space, each struggling for it's own sunlight. Then one said to itself, let me leave my soil and climb up to the sun and grab it for myself. It knew too well that nature only allows the sun to shine upon it, and not it going to the sun. But the other rose waited patiently for the sun, knowing well that the soil was it's fate and to shine was the Sun's fate. And then the unruly rose climbed up to the sun. To its surprise, it could not fit in. The sun was too big and hot that it shrunk and became pale. It quickly made it's way back to the soil, but was surprise that the rose that wa

This Transmigration Seems Somewhat Strange?

This Transmigration Seems Somewhat Strange?

It wasn’t until Zero clarified to her that it all made sense, with how debauched that place was of course the ruler would be screwed in the head somehow! Just possessing the black rose ability was enough evidence of how crazy the dude was, after all, ranking first among the deadliest flowers and third in rarity was the black rose. Although not as rare as the blue rose, unlike the blue rose whose only effect was inducing tranquility within one’s mind along with its beauty, the black rose had a more powerful effect. Not only did it induce negative emotions, but it was a carnivorous type flower that could reduce anything to ashes even living beings if the amount was enough and the person was we

Heather Academy: School of Fighters

I looked at her and nodded. I did everything I can do. But in the last part, I stopped. There's a rose on the table. But not an ordinary rose. Because this type of rose has magic in it. Within 1 minute this rose will turn into a monster. It's dangerous not because it can turn into a monster. But it will use your weakness against you before it kills you. "Kill the rose." I heard Drake said. I took a deep breath before stepping closer to it. I held it trembling. As I held on to it some memories entered my mind. Memories I don't want to remember anymore.

I liked the story. It was paced well, and kept my attention. There were a couple of characters introduced but dropped out of the story. Grammer and spelling could use some work, got even worse as story progressed. So was a bit distracting, but could still follow the story.

Really loved these characters. Would love a sequel with Lily Carter & Alessandro, those 2 are really interesting, emotionally charged characters. Rose is an inspiring mother. Very happy about how you provided answers to the twists & turns. Could use less repetition in dialogue. There are more...con

The Alpha's Vampire Mate

The Alpha's Vampire Mate

She stood perfectly still. "The soil here is sour, Alpha," she called back. "You planted these roses to hide a memory, but you forgot that roses have thorns. They thrive on blood, not sorry feelings." "Get out of that garden," I commanded, my Alpha power rising. Slowly, she looked up. Even with the mask on, I felt like she was staring right through my chest. "You spent so much money on these flowers," she said, her voice dripping with venom. "But you couldn't spend a single moment of kindness on the girl they are for.

Frequently Asked Questions

The image of a rose laced with venom has a strange pull for me — it's elegant, tragic, and perfect for stories. Historically and in literature, 'poison rose' is more metaphor than botany; writers and filmmakers borrow the beauty of roses to heighten betrayal or tragic romance. That said, the natural world does have plenty of pretty, deadly flowers: oleander, belladonna, foxglove, and monkshood are all real plants with potent toxins. People love to mix those real toxic species with roses in fiction because the contrast looks and feels right.

Botanically speaking, true roses (genus Rosa) aren’t typically classified as dangerously poisonous to humans if small amounts are ingested — rose hips are even eaten as teas and jams. However, parts of many plants, even attractive ones that resemble roses at a glance, can be harmful. Rhododendrons/azaleas contain grayanotoxins that can cause dizziness and heart issues, while some members of the buttercup family cause skin irritation. Another real-world twist: roses sold commercially can carry pesticide residues, which is a more realistic danger than the rose itself being a lethal toxin.

So, are poison roses based on real toxic flowers? Kinda. The trope blends aesthetic and symbolic value of roses with real poisonous plants and historical poisonings. When I see the motif in a novel or film like 'The Poison Rose', I appreciate the dramatic license — it’s poetic, not a botanical fact — though I always tell friends to wash store-bought petals before messing with them in food or crafts. It keeps the fantasy sharp and the reality safe, which I sort of enjoy.
