The color does look like Sterling Silver, but I have never seen a SS plant that looks that healthy! Here in CA it is famous for being difficult to impossible to grow - gets all sort of diseases, including canker and mildew, and hates to grow.

Hopefully someone from your type of climate will post re how it grows in colder areas.

There are quite a few HTs in that color class. This rose looks to me to be a bit dark for SS -- and the blooms look to be too big. Maybe they're more like 'Blue Girl' (Kolner Karnivale)????

Thank You. This is a closeup of the same rose. I'd love to plant it in front of my THE IMPRESSIONIST. It's just amazing looking I think! My fav. color, the SIZE, and greatly scented. What more could a person want?? lol

Well, the person from England just posted another picture of the Rose on my FB page. His neighbor grows it and he said it's a SS. Wha What?? What do they do in England to produce this magic?! LOVE THIS!

They have a vastly different climate. In your climate SS will probably never achieve such height and vigor. You'd be better off looking for something that is more winter hardy in a similar color.
