Fake - Rainbow Rose seeds

[fitzroy14]

Warning dont buy the Rainbow Rose Seeds that a few sellers have. The are fake, dont waste your money.

For one thing hybrid Roses will not come true from seed. Thats how we get new colours in Roses. If you grow any Roses from seeds (except species) you could have any colour and even poor quality plant and flower.

The Rainbow Rose, you will see the flower on the seller page, is multi-coloured. The reason its done by splitting the stem and placing in water with dye.

Search the interent and will see a number of articles about the Rainbow Rose. I wish E-bay would act and delete these listings. I have a sent number of warning to E-bay over a week ago but so far no action on their side.

Be warned buyers, there are fake item on E-bay.

They are still being listed so it is still relevant,(it currently says 711 listed but some have nothing to do with the

scam listings in that they aren't even for rainbow Rose seeds and the listing only go for less than 400 listings

when you search).

They continue to make eBay money so they wont be removed,(integrity and eBay don't combine),

To grow from seed, yes they are fake. If you get sent actual rose seeds, they are for an off white variety. You then create the colours yourself by splitting the stem and putting each split section into coloured water. The rose sucks up the colours and adds different colours to the petal. 

I have only found 2 sellers, both in Hong Kong, that tell the truth. They show a photo of a rainbow rose, but then say which variety you are sent (an off white variety), then give instructions on how to then make them coloured.

100% fake,(as explained they are made,not grown).

Also be careful as a lot of them send weed seeds as they are easy to obtain,(but they could hurt Australia

ecological system as they could be invasive species).

Unfortunately even unscrupulous Aussie sellers/scammers sell them as well.
