HMF has Night Owl listed as deep wine red as well as mauve. Purple to anything with pink shading is okay, although purple to a lavender shading would be better. I am not sure about the red, as everything in the front yard is pink, lavender, white, or purple. Purple Skyliner appears to have the best color range but I am not sure how it will perform here. Wild Blue Yonder is possible too, but after re -evaluating the space, I think something with small flowers would look better. I am beginning to consider planting a small white climbing rose for the area because finding the right purple is tough, or I am just fried. Thank you for all of the input.

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?

Looks to me like it could be Heirloom. I used to grow it but it died last winter and I didn't replace it because it just wasn't hardy enough for my zone. It has a very nice fragrance Here is a link that might be useful: Heirloom.

What a great combination! Your gardens are so beautiful and your roses look so healthy and happy! I can't wait to check out your blog! Thanks for sharing!
