There is a rose called Almost black at www.directgardening.com Is this the same rose?

You'd have to ask them that. Looking at the info for 'Nearly Black' at HelpMeFind.com/Roses it would appear that it might be a possibility.

I made a phone call to Michigan bulb Co and asked them what "nearly black" really was and I got this reply. So there is no such thing as 'Nearly Black' rose.

Dear Daniel;

Thank you for your recent correspondence concerning our Nearly Black Roses.
We send out either the Oklahoma or Olympiad Rose for our Nearly Black Roses.
If I may be of further assistance, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

Karen Rudisell

I don't know why someone posted that the Michigan Bulb Company was defunct, but I just visited their website today and it was all bussiness as usual. For those of you die hard bargain hunters, yes, there's directgardening.com (which has horrible reviews), but you should also check out chambleesroses.com or the Michigan bulb company.

It looks like Michigan Bulb has had a rebirth - it's a completely different address for starters.
