For rose, look below at organic kitten's "iris group shot" post. The one in the group that really stands out to me is Sheer Ecstasy. A beauty!

For lilac, check out Joseph Ghio's "Christmas Present." Also, many people grow "Mary Frances," which is sort of the standard lilac, I think.

Looking at pics of your suggestions I see they are 'full bodied' reddish lilac. The only one I'm familar with is Fashionably Late. It is gorgeous but the color does lighten as it ages ~~ common with many intensely wine-colored iris.
