Are these fig varieties very rare?

 Are these varieties extremely  rare? Maybe I'm naive to be looking for them.  I've seen them mentioned how good they are, but I cannot find a source for them.   If anyone will have cuttings for sale or trade please let me know. 
Kathleen's Black, Sumacki, Rouge de Bordeaux
 
 Thank you,  Soni

Hi Soni , the varieties you mention along with Matese falcon , Maltese beauty and so many others are very sought after varieties . You may find them occasionally on Ebay , cuttings or plant . They do come at a hefty price. Eventually I hope they will be more readily available and more affordable. 
Have you checked the UC Davis list ? I haven't so I don't know for sure if any you are wishing for are there or not.

I and a few others were able to acquire RDB through a very generous member of the forum (Kerry- thank you). As he wanted more people to have this variety at an affordable price. 
We can hope that maybe soon some of these varieties will become more available.

Kathleen's Black is not rare. Rough de Bourdeaux is hard to get, but there are members how has them. Rouge dB is also thought to be similar to Pastiliere and if so it will drop most of the figs. Sumacki i believe is from bass.

  Thank you, Pattee and Pete
