Mystery Rose- bizarre crimson/ bruise color
Comments (5)Thanks for your comment, Olga! In real life this rose has a considerably deeper color than 'Belle de Crecy' (at least than the 'Belle de Crecy' that is in the IBG rose garden). After looking through the photos of 'Robert le Diable' on helpmefind.com, I am convinced that is the correct ID. The photos match every detail that I can see, from the center shape of the mature flower to the shape of the buds (and of the leaves), to the faint streaking/ striping of the petals. It even appears that the people who posted there had the same difficulty that I did in getting the true colors to show up in a photo! :)...See Moredark purple rose ID
Comments (3)You can post a photo right from your computer by using the "Image file to upload" option at the top of the follow-up posting box. A photo is probably the only way we can guess accurately but a few of the more common deep purple ones off the top of my head: Ebb Tide, Midnight Blue, Wild Blue Yonder, Burgundy Iceburg and Blue For You....See MorePlease help ID purple striped moss rose
Comments (7)After having spent HOURS poring through photos & descriptions, etc., the closest match I've run across so far is 'Robert le Diable.' Yeah, I know, forget what I said about this rose's possibly being a moss or a gallica! Do any of you grow 'Robert le Diable'? GST's description seems to fit: he calls it "lax, almost procumbent" and says that it is an atypical centifolia [hey, doesn't centifolia mean "one hundred petals"? That would fit the 148 petal count that I got!] that "probably has Gallica derivation." He also says that 'Robert le Diable' has "an amazing number of tints" in its flowers, and "develops its most arresting colours in dry, hot weather." (YEAH! That's Boise!) So, what do you think? Anybody?...See MorePurple Rose ID?
Comments (3)Please provide photos of the canes (showing the type of thorns) and the foliage. It will also be useful to know if it reblooms through the summer or not, but you don't likely have that information yet....See Morefduk_gw UK zone 3 (US zone 8)
