Black Dragon rose?

Okay- so I hear of the fabled Black Dragon rose (which i have my doubts about). While doing a search, one listing for ebay stated " Black dragon rose seeds, ripe and juicy". Hahaha!

    Just sort of looks like an oversaturated simsalabim lol.

    All of those rose seed adverts are a scam. There is no way they can guarantee that the seeds will grow to produce that bloom. Roses DO NOT breed true to variety from seed. The photos are probably Simsalabim as Ordphien said or maybe Abracadabra.

    It was the fact it said "ripe and juicy" like I'm supposed to eat it. That's what caught my eye and made me laugh. I hope no one actually orders any!
