Is it possible that the label said, "Dark Knight" with a K?

That is a dark red hybrid tea rose from Christensen, which is apparently no longer in commerce. From your description, it sounds lovely.

The rose called Dark Night is a newly introduced rose, which I grow. Its original name was Garden Director Bartje Miller, after a woman who has been an important part of our local rose gardening organizations.

petaloid,

You are correct. I looked it up on line and saw that the 'Dark Night' looks NOTHING like my old rose and that it is a new variety.

I also found the topic on the discussion board and read all that everyone said about the new rose and saw the photos. Wow! That is such an unusual looking rose...that and 'Ketchup and Mustard' both!!!

And, you are correct about the name of my rose being, 'Dark Knight'. The tag has long ago since disappeared, but when I bought it, I thought that was a catchy name. I kept looking for it by that spelling (with the "K") and couldn't find it anywhere, so thought, well maybe it was just another misnamed flower/rose from Lowe's (like that doesn't happen - ya right)

Thank you for the information on it. I will cherish it even more now that is no longer being produced and sold. Tiz a pity, really. It is a wonderful rose. As I said, it is like a bush-form of the red climber 'Don Juan'. What's not to love?

Annie, my Dark Night is a deep, smoky red with an ivory reverse and glossy foliage. It seems to be doing well in my climate, although inland friends have to use some fungicide to keep the foliage clean. I have seen Ketchup and Mustard in person and it may find its way into my garden too.

Yes, it is a pity that Dark Knight is no longer sold. So many great roses are dropped every year -- marketing strategy, I suppose.
