Hi there, I rescued two potted roses from a nursery which was hoping to sell some "difficult to care for" roses which were dying on them, and which they were trying to avoid throwing away. I got two for $9.99. I am hoping to revive them. They look like full sized roses, but the actual bloom size might be difficult, since they are not doing well, so they might be currently smaller than normal. They have these absolutely gorgeous dark red with some black blooms with spiraling centers and high centers. I'm thinking it might be either the florist rose Black Beauty, Schwarze Madonna, or something of that type. Here are some links to pictures I took...the red was hard to capture, although, the one picture of the backs was the most accurate:
