I assume that as a sport of Hocus Pocus which in turn is a sport of Black Beauty (Kordes, 1999), the photo shows a reverting back to Black Beauty. Neither sport is stable, and it is interesting to note that Black Beauty is in turn a sport of Frisco (Kordes, 1986).

You are correct. Abracadabra is very unstable and reverts back to Black Beauty frequently. My plant had one branch that reverted to Frisco.
This photo should have been posted under Black Beauty.

No, I think it is in the right location. If the rose was purchased as Abracadabra then the photograph simply illustrates that the sport is unstable. How do we know that this rose hasn't sported to something different again rather than exactly back to Black Beauty?

I suppose where it should be posted is totally a matter of opinion. We do know that it reverts to Black Beauty and that's what this photo appears to be. I have extensive experience with this rose and could post photos with blooms of all types and colors. I only consider it Abracadabra when it has the characteristic appearance of Abracadabra. If you want to consider it Abracadabra when it reverts, that is up to you. A major problem with posting a reverted photo of it under the name "Abracadabra" is that it then comes up on this venue when someone wishes to see a representation of that rose. It is not.
