Question
I saw this movie about 40 years ago!
It was about a black rose or blue rose that needed to be
found to save the life of a queen. A group of men on horseback
had to overcome evil adventures to get to this rose.  

Answer
Hi Chris,

The film you're looking for is no doubt the 1961 (or 60) film released by MGM:  "The Thief of Bagbad"  (or , as it was originally titled, "Il Ladro di
Bagdad").... starring Steve Reeves.  This is an update of the original classic Alexander Korda 1940 film.

You can find info on the film at:    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054013

and the complete story at:

It hasn't been released on DVD,..and May be on VHS.

Sincerely,
