Thanks Hetty and Sandi! My camera can't seem to capture the real color. Its more of purple/red color, similar to Scott Pratt.
Here's some more pictures.

Red is a very difficult color to capture., Try taking a picture just before dark.

This picture is the best I could get. It shows a little more of the purple color and a some of the yellow center. The scent is also stronger. It reminds me of a withered rose.

It is possible that the variety you have there is 'Rose Red'.

Very nice, Cameron, (what a perfect Birthday gift!) Thanks for the pictures, 'cause the suspense was killing me! And Cheryl, hang in there with trying to root your red plumies, it can be done, if you can find a way to forget about them, yet still remember to mist the tops of those cuttings.

Remember - grafting is a very good option for those varieties that are stubborn rooters!

Yay more blooms opened Hurray! This time the flowers have a fruity fragrance. Maybe my sense of smell is off?
