Black Rose is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from its sole parent, Shiva Skunk. The cultivar is categorized as a project of moderate cultivation difficulty that thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this plant, which reaches maturity after a 63-day flowering period.
The chemical profile of Black Rose is defined by a complex terpene architecture, led by a dominant presence of caryophyllene and humulene. These are closely followed by linalool, myrcene, and limonene, with secondary contributions from nerolidol, beta-pinene, pinene, caryophyllene-oxide, camphene, p-cymene, terpinolene, and bisabolol. This extensive terpene list dictates a nuanced sensory experience that reflects the strain's specific chemical composition.
As a THC-dominant hybrid, Black Rose produces effects described as relaxed, happy, and uplifted, making it a functional choice for users seeking support with stress, pain, and sleep. Beyond its immediate usage, the strain has established a broad genetic footprint in modern breeding, serving as a parent for numerous notable offspring including Bizarre, Black N Blues, Blood Kush, Blood Rose, Burnt Cookie, Cannatose F1, Crestside Cutthroat, Fuckberry, Kings Honor, Kripala, Nuclear Winter, and Purple Bomb.

Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
PMC11060501: opioid-independent antinociception; appetite suppression (anorectic); NF-κB dual-pathway synergy with caryophyllene.
Russo 2011: local anesthetic equal to procaine; anticonvulsant via glutamate/GABA modulation; reduces morphine tolerance via multisite opioid/GABAergic/cannabinoid action.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
happy
