Amazon in is still selling these rose seeds which I know now are fake. I bought them enthusiastically and followed instructions. I was told the seeds will germinate and grow into healthy rose plants producing roses as seen in the image. I am supposed to be a knowledgeable gardener and it fails me how I got fooled.

That's a shame! It would be great to have flowers like in the pic though!

You’d think Amazon would get rid of fraudulent sellers.

That is one thing about Amazon I do not like. Even if we complain they do nothing about it

@allknowing They only do something if they might get sued. I was supposed to review something for Amazon, and the product shocked me so badly my leg jerked sporadically for thirty minutes. It was only when I went to complain that I found out they removed it from the website.

@AmbiePam I am glad they did that. Did you have to use the product before writing a review on it?

When it comes to seeds I've learned to go directly to an online nursery rather than trust any big retailers like Amazon, they rely on sellers who aren't always honorable ...... have you written to Amazon about this? Sometimes Amazon itself will make it a point to get you refunds when things do not go as expected and also you can leave a review about that product to warn other people not to buy it.

Yes I have written to Amazon but sadly that is one thing I do not like about Amazon in that they do not take any action.

I've never had that kind of problem, Amazon has always provided a refund for anything that is faulty

I can see how you would have liked to have roses with these. I'm sure you weren't the only one fooled.
