Of the three, I would select Munstead Wood.

Twilight Zone

Burgundy Iceberg was always closer to a dark burgundy than all three of the above.

Each one is a beauty . Thank you

Oh, Diane's famed Ascot!! What a sight!

I recommend all of them but if I could only pick one, it would be Munstead Wood hands down! Beautiful romantic dark red purpley tones, wafting fragrance, abundant blooms, disease resistant..what's not to love? Okay, maybe the thorns, lol. She has crazy thorns and could compete with the Mermaid in that category but MW's thorns aren't hooked. They are straight out where you can see them.

I dont have the gorgeous Ascot yet, but she is on my spring list!

I'm loving my new Twilight Zone. Here it was yesterday.

I also have Ebb Tide, and it does benefit from afternoon shade but can do nice purple blooms. However the flowers are smaller than TZ. I also added Ascot this year, but it didn't bloom, hopefully next year it will look half as good as nandoll's does.

Ok, this hasn't helped. Lol I can see I will need more than one choice.

Diane your Ascot is amazing and has me scouting for where I could make that much room in my yard. Just absolutely gorgeous!

In your zone, you can grow roses on fortuniana root stock. That being said, Munstead Wood will grow into a fairly large bush. Dozens of those deep wine blending deeper, blooms all season long. Another deep purple that really does well on fortuniana is The Prince. I had 2 bush's when I lived in FL. and I just made room for 2 of them in my garden up here. They can be found at K&M Nursery.

Ken, I'll bet your Prince does so much better on fortuniana than my Prince does on multiflora. It's a shrub with a lovely growth habit, but flowers very little for me, and the few blooms are instantly shriveled in our dry air. If it's hot, it's goes even faster. Diane

The Prince in November, so it looks a little ratty

Wow wow wow! Your photos of the Prince are gorgeous!

So many gorgeous deep colors. thank you so much for sharing the pictures with me. It has not made my decision one bit easier but thanks anyway lol

I've also been searching for the perfect rose in that purplish red color that I call Beetroot (is that about the color you are looking for also?) I grow Munstead Wood and it really is a great rose, but variable color. I want Ascot, thanks to Diane. Other roses I'm considering: Etienne, Tuscany Superb, Chianti, Prospero, La Belle Sultane, Eugene de Beauharnais, Charles de Mills, Captain John Ingram. I grow Falstaff, but it hasn't been purply enough for me.

I guess I want a winew color that goe more to the fuschia or pinkie to es. Nothing muddy purple.

Oklahoma .. Sorry.. I have other images but cannot seem to locate them. I will post a clearer image if I can find one. The color read on my screen appears accurate.

Nigrette

Oklahoma is gorgeous

Yes. In person, Oklahoma's very dark blooms often have a coloring similar to a Cabernet Sauvignon. Definitely a deep burgundy.

Does anybody know where to buy Nigrette?

I purchased my Nigrettes from Burlington.

Hey, let's make your decision even more difficult--heheh. How about Young Lycidas? Or Wild Blue Yonder? Diane

Young Lycidas

Or what about Dark Desire?

Yep,not easier lol. The problem is, they are all so stunning. How's a girl to decide?

I better have a look at Dark Desire
