Raspberry sherbert, ummm. Maybe these are too off base? Isn't 'Aplomb' an intense color that fades after day one? 'Sheer Ecstasy' is a more tailored form I'd describe as raspberry rose self with orange beard. 'Ever After' is very similar to above; less tailored form; color may be a bit more vibrant. 'Nora's Thrill' in pictures looks to have a neon_y fuchsia blended color. 'Fuchsia Delight' - one picture that looked a very vibrant color but toward purple.

Rose Du Roi does not have the lateral outgrowths on the sepals, and the glandular growth that gave the mossy smell from the resin you got on your finger tips when you rubbed your finger over the the buds/sepals. And the flowers are not as perfect as the flowers on Rose De Rescht. Some Rose de Rescht have probably been sold as Rose Du Roi adding to the confusion and GST theory that Rose Du Roi is and Rose de Rescht is the same rose. I wonder why a Estimated rosarian like GST could make such a mistake when there is such obvious differences between Rose De Rescht and Rose du Roi? A look on the sepals and you are able to distinguish the two roses. Also the foliage on Roi is lighter green and more coarse than Rose de Rescht. I suspect those that complain about the foliage on their Rose De Reshts grow Rose Du Roi. The Colour of Rose de Rescht blooms change a lot. The Amount of sunlight and temperature makes a big difference. Sometimes almost crimson, sometimes magenta-red other times more pink and sometimes almost pinkish/purple.: Here some photos of Rose De Rescht: A bud (see the shape of sepals and glandular growth similar to your rose): A nice bloom: some more blooms: here a spent bloom (looks almost excacly like the ones in your 2. post): So this one was very easy to identify. If you have other roses I will try to identify those too.

If you live in an area with hard winter freezes, it could be that the named variety died back before it ever bloomed and the hardy rootstock onto which it was grafted has taken over. This happens a lot. The most common rootstock used is a vigorous red shrub named Dr. Huey and your photo shows a similar rose. It's mostly a spring bloomer and can get mildew in my area, but I think it's pretty. I'll put a link to the HelpMeFind listing and you can click on the photos tab to see if you think it's the same rose: Here is a link that might be useful: Dr. Huey

Yes, Lobelia erinus. A tender perennial that is often grown as an annual. Flower color of this bloom machine ranges from blue/purple, white and rose/magenta. It grows easily from seed and often self-sows where adapted.
