Does the little tag within the pot also say Sunny Delight? Some people find the correct name there. It sure is a pretty color and I bet it's even prettier in person.

I was going to guess Twilight Zone, which a grandiflora, but your rose doesn't have TZ's upright stiffness. The bloom shape seems a little different from TZ--but I'm known to be wrong! What a nice find, though. TZ is moderately thorny, too. That bloom is beautiful, and plant looks big and healthy. Did you just get it? Diane

Is it fragrant? what about Miranda Lambert?

It looks very nice! I was thinking maybe Ebb Tide...mine is sometimes the exact same color as your picture. Ebb Tide also blooms in clusters as rose is doing, though your bloom is a bit more globular.

Maybe ebb tide ? It's beautiful!

Love that color!

@jasmine - I looked for a little tag & there wasn't one.

@kelly - isn't miranda lambert more pink? There is no fragrance that I can detect yet.

I just planted an ebb tide last month. The bloom is a bit different on the ? rose. But it's hard to tell with only one & who knows what the conditions have been like there. But when I was rose shopping I have not seen any purple roses from this nusery supplier. I just checked their online catalog & they had no listing for the yellow tagged rose or any ebb tides or twilight zones. I thought that would be the answer.

I'm hoping it's twilight zone. That's only because I have one ebb tide.

Are ebb tide & twilight zone blooms the same size or is one larger? I'm sure you can answer this nanadoll!

The only other purple that I know of being a possibility would maybe be stormy weather. Not sure though.

Thank goodness it's not a red or pink rose, because I would probably never id it.

Wild Blue Yonder?

With no scent to detect I don't know if it is a TZ as mine is extremely strongly scented, as were all of the plants I have seen this year. On the tag does it tell you who the grower or distributor is? May be able to narrow it down from there...

Zoomed in and saw it said Windmill...looked up the catalogue for their stuff. Maybe a Big Purple?

Ok my ebb tide smells like cloves. I checked the mystery rose for fragrance after I had it sitting in the sun. It does not smell like cloves. It smells like soapy roses.

I checked panamnursery catalogue too. I saw the big purple there. But thought it being a hybrid tea it would have a larger bloom & not be in cluster form.

Here are couple more pics of the next blooms. The colour is showing lighter in the pic, bit darker in real life. These blooms are small, maybe 2 inches. Fragrance is just rose. Still may not help, as it's recently planted. Can rule out ebb tide, twight zone & wild blue yonder for the various reasons - fragrance & bloom size. Any other suggestions? The non id is driving me nuts.

Definitely not Wild Blue Yonder. The blooms open up to show stamens. The mystery rose doesn't seem to open up.

So weird Blondie...I hate the unidentified too! The underside almost looks like my Intrigue. It's also possible that maybe it'll show itself more truly after it settles in...did you try calling PanAm to get their opinion?

I don't think you can go by bloom size on a new rose, since the blooms will get larger as the root system matures.

Maybe 'outta the blue' an earlier Carruth purple?

Outta the Blue is almost a semi double, having fewer petals than Wild Blue Yonder, while this unknown rose seems much more double. Diane

So I was thinking about roses last night & thought about this old question. Here are a few pics from last year. It is still a small plant & these photos were taken in a heat wave. But I thought maybe some fresh eyes could give me a better guess. I know for a fact that it is not ebb tide. My ebb tide is much darker.

It reminds me of my Heirloom... did you consider that one? :-)
