Well if that's true, they really should take the time to somehow convey this to the player in a consistent fashion, because the differentiation between them isn't clear; one is called a blood rose described as a rare rose, while the other is a rose described as a blood rose.

And if one of them doesn't have any use whatsoever, it should be removed, and if the buff doesn't do anything, why does it even exist?

It's a mess.
