Hi Tom,

Looks kind of like Baby Fareux to me, hard to tell though. Does it have any fragrance? Helpmefind says this one has a mild grape scent.

Looks like BF to me too, but I need a closer picture of the blooms. I don't detect scent on mine.

Thanks for responding! I'm a newbie to gardenweb and didn't realize when I posted this that you could only use one picture. I'm trying a weblink - hope it works. I checked the ARS Handbook - BF has a mauve bloom - but these are more red in color. Hopefully this URL will work and you can see a close up of the blooms.

Thanks again for your help! This is a great little polyantha and I'd really like to know the name.

Tom

Here is a link that might be useful:

Here are some mauves to check out that can be purple or faded red depending on circumstances:

The only similar one that is probably isn't is GardenDirector Otto von Linne
