Comments (63)wantanamara, its just common blue grama, probably from seeds you sent me or else seeds I got at the History Museum. I keep trying to get new plants started, I love it. I visited the Museum today. They killed out all that mixed prairie grass growing on that hill of big rocks that I had admired so much, looks like they sprayed everything except the Muhly riverchonii. All the others were just dried up cut back dead grasses. I couldn't believe it! I plan to go back later on to see if they replace it with some other plants. No way its winter kill, that grass is too tough. In another area, they have large drifts of Little Bluestem and I don't know what kind it is but its extremely tall for a bluestem, the old seed heads from last year easily came up to my chest and the stalks are more than twice the height of the leaves, very blue, anywhere from powder blue to steel blue and has thinner leaves than other types. I found a few strays I saved from the weed whacker. You guys, thanks for the nice comments but except for the flame flowers all those plants are from seeds that came from Texas, its stuff grows wild in abundance on the roadsides. Roadsides are great for getting seeds, its a matter of "organization and selection" Wantanamara has great weeds on her property and its the common stuff I collect mostly, nursery's don't carry it because its considered common weeds. My eyeballs are constantly on the lookout for any interesting possibilities and they are everywhere. There is a large white prairie clover plant I just marked out last weekend for later seed gathering here. The thing looks like one of those perfect big white fireworks displays on the 4th of July. Btw, Oklahoma is third in its #'s of varieties native plants, just after Texas and California in the US. I read that this week online. I just ran across a teeny tiny form of stiff wiry grass, actually I think its a carex of some kind, cuter than a button with itty bitty brown seeds on top of those impossibly thin stems that stand up perfectly forming little upside down cone shaped plants that are about 4" tall. I have a little cluster started. This post was edited by TexasRanger10 on Thu, Jun 26, 14 at 3:40...See MorePink/Purple Shrub 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 MoreOld rose ID of HUGE purple rambler

10 months agoI don't think it's The Prince, which I've grown for nearly 20 years. The blooms are darker than the photo above, but his color varies some, especially in spring when he can go two tone occasionally, which is pretty funny. Sometimes he does sport the button eye. Here are some photos. Diane

10 months agoNot Munstead Wood. I've grown two for years with variations in color depending on the weather and never had a MW look even close to the mystery rose. Diane

Darker
Is this dark enough?

7 months agoNot Young Lycidas, I think. I've grown one for years, and it's never looked like the mystery rose. Diane

7 months agoThank you so much Ingrid. I think you would like YL's growth habit, which is quite relaxed and sort of like old garden roses' growth patterns. YL leans some on his neighbors, particularly Colette, and sometimes even Angel Face and Julia Child. YL is a good bloomer, too. If things go well in your garden with good old used kitty littler, you should take another chance on YL. I lost my first YL to gophers a number of years ago during winter. He's a definitely worth a second chance. Diane
Leaning on Julia

7 months agolast modified: 7 months agoI feel out of place commenting on Timeless Purple since I have not grown it and have not seen it in person, but maybe this photo will help. This photo is from Help Me Find (Timeless Purple is NOA38121, bottom right) and shows leaf and partial stem form (it looks rather thorny).
This is the direct link to this specific photo: https://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=21.391771This photo may also help: https://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=21.319086, but I was not able to find a better quality image
Help Me Find says Timeless Purple has arching growth. What is the growth habit of your beautiful mystery rose?
FWIW, I think the photo of Purple Lodge that BenT shared looks nearly identical to yours. This is the Help Me Find for Purple Lodge: https://www.helpmefind.com/gardening/l.php?l=2.51199.1&tab=1 Also, the Purplelicious that Elena posted is another name for Purple Lodge.
Even just looking at the photos, I agree with his assessment that the USA version looks very different from the European version.
