The Story Behind the Name The Black Rose

I’ve been called The Black Rose for many years now. The name didn’t come from branding or marketing—it came from a moment. A conversation. A comparison someone made that stuck with me. They said I reminded them of smoking black roses, a phrase from Elton John’s hauntingly beautiful song Belfast. It’s a line that conjures danger, mystery, and something sacred smoldering in the ruins of a broken world. I’ve always loved that song—and the image. Not because I see myself as dark or destructive, but because of what the black rose represents: rebellion. Not the worldly kind. Not rebellion for rebellion’s sake. But something deeper. I’m an anarchist against anything that doesn’t love God and His Son, Jesus. In a world that worships self, celebrates sin, and silences truth, I write to resist. I create to push back. I speak to remember. That’s what The Black Rose means to me. It’s not about thorns—it’s about standing tall in soil no longer holy. It’s about blooming anyway. I don’t cover this site in black petals. You’ll find softness here—white, simple, feminine touches, gentle spaces. Because strength and beauty aren’t enemies. They belong together. The Black Rose isn’t who I pretend to be. It’s who I became in a world that forgot how to love what’s true. Alexandra
