- This monster is the cover card for Crossroads of Chaos.
- This card appears in the artwork of “Frozen Rose” and “Blooming of the Darkest Rose”, while its eye appears in the artwork of “Thorn of Malice”.
- This is the only card that was reprinted two times with "DUEL TERMINAL" written on it without actually being in one of the Duel Terminal sets.
- This card was the first of the "Signer Dragons" to be Limited on September 1, 2009. It went back to Unlimited one year later.
- This monster's name appears to contradict its appearance, given that the roses which adorn this dragon's body are red rather than black. However, when one examines the name more closely, one notices that this monster's skin is actually black in color, and the name can be taken as a more literal description of this monster's nature.
- To elaborate: Because the name says that this is a "Black Rose Dragon", it is assumed that it is a "dragon of black roses" and thus the name does not adequately describe the appearance. However, it actually means that this is a "Black Rose Dragon" – a black-colored variety of a species of dragon that adorns its body with roses – which is an accurate description of the monster.
- This card is the first of the "Signer Dragons" whose effect relates to a specific Type, as well as the first to have a specific support card (in this case, "Thorn of Malice").
- This card is the first of the "Signer Dragons" to be Level 7 instead of 8, as opposed to "Stardust Dragon", "Life Stream Dragon", "Red Dragon Archfiend" and "Black-Winged Dragon". "Ancient Fairy Dragon" would later follow.
- All male Signers have Level 8 "Signer Dragons", while both female Signers' Dragons are Level 7.
- Just like "Stardust Dragon" has a younger counterpart in "Debris Dragon", this monster also has a younger counterpart, "Blue Rose Dragon".
- This card has the lowest combined ATK and DEF out of all "Signer Dragon" monsters.
- In the anime, this card, "Red Dragon Archfiend", and "Life Stream Dragon" are the only "Signer Dragons" that have not been absorbed by any of the "Meklord" monsters at least once.
- This card is notably the only "Signer Dragon" to never be used against any of the "Meklord" monsters at least once. This is because Akiza never battled any of Aporia's embodiments or Aporia himself.
- This card has been the featured card of an anime episode 4 times, more than any others.
- This card has a "Duel Dragon" counterpart: "Black Rose Moonlight Dragon".
- This card's effects mirror Akiza's initial personality.
- This is one of four "Signer Dragons" that technically never got an upgrade throughout the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's series; the other three being "Ancient Fairy Dragon", "Black-Winged Dragon", and "Life Stream Dragon".
