What an incredibly sumptuous color. I imagine our cold weather is responsible for the velvety deep purple coloration.

That color is EVERYTHING!!!

That is a gorgeous rose! I love roses with rich deep colors.

Stunning and beautiful

Jeri, what a tease! When I saw the title of your thread, my heart rate went up. I was sooooo sure you were going to announce you had plants to share, lol. If you ever do, I'm sure you could work something out with Paul so you could legally share them. This rose is gorgeous. It's fast becoming another of my unicorn roses.

What a beauty!

John , , , Have you asked Paul if HE has plants to share???

"Have you asked Paul if HE has plants to share???"

@fig_insanity Z7b E TN And I do. Mind you, its a bit late to ship them right now.

And Jeri has my permission to propagate and distribute the rose as she sees fit.

Hi Paul. I should have asked you before now, lol. I'll be in touch ;) We'll have to wait until Spring to ship if you can hold your plants that long. The weather is much too unsettled here for the time being. It was 4F last night, high of 20 today, but a week from now the high will be in the 60's!

John, I have no problem waiting till April

Oh John! It's 75 deg. already at 9:40 a.m. Normally, I would say that I loathe that, but it's better than the weather YOU have!
