I purchased this rose bush from Heirloom Roses in 2014. It is similar to Black Bacarra, but is a slightly superior rose bush. It did well in shade, but then I needed to move it to a sunnier spot on the Southwest corner of my Casita in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It has also done great there. The blooms are about 4 inches wide, which is one inch wider than my Black Baccara. Both plants are disease resistant and tall (over 6 feet) by the end of the season. We have a lot of sun here, and are at 5,000 feet. Mine does great in heat and direct sunlight. When the blooms are nearly spent, they "fade" into a really nice gold. They have never suffered in direct sunlight. For a dark red rose, this is the best I have found.

Heirloom Roses has a 'Black Pearl' listed, although out of stock currently. It doesn't list the breeder, and the year given is 1986 (perhaps a US introduction?) but it does say it's bred from 'Papa Meilland'.
