BLACK ROSE

         The purpose of the Black Rose is to participate in Memorial, Marker Dedications and Graveside Services. In the 1860’s widows would dress in all black attire, also known as “Widow Weeds” during a period of mourning. The ladies wore black because they did not want to attract attention to themselves.

• 
              As members of the Black Rose we portray the widow, the Mother and the Daughters of the soldier.  We dress in “Widow Weeds” and assist the Sons of Confederate Veterans and the United Daughters of the Confederacy with their Memorial, Marker Dedications and Graveside Services.
              The requirements to be a member of the Black Rose are:
• You must be a Rose Member
• You must comply with the Rule of dress code for 1860’s
• We have a hand book to assist you.
