Hailing from the Capital Region of Upstate New York, the sound and/or genre of Nine Black Roses can only be described as eclectic: deriving ideas & styles from a broad & diverse range of sources. 

That being said, the most influential musical artists would have to be: The Grateful Dead, Phish, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors & Radiohead.

Concerning the meaning or significance of the name Nine Black Roses, I offer the following:

Black roses symbolize both endings & new beginnings, with additional meanings including death, transformation, rebirth, mourning & mystery. They can also represent deep passion, rebellion & elegance. The meaning can vary depending on the context, from farewells & solemn occasions to celebrating new chapters in life or showing a unique kind of love.

Specifically, nine black roses are usually presented as a sign of repentance & as a request for reconciliation & forgiveness.

I think that's something most, if not all of us can relate to. Whether you're giving the flowers or receiving them.

Ultimately, my goal is to make deep connections with other people & have folks relate to & enjoy listening to the music of Nine Black Roses.

Thanks for stopping by, thanks for listening & if you're offering up ANY support at all, may your generosity bring you peace & harmony.
