For once, I happen to have a rose that's being talked about: Enchanted Evening.
I had tried many lavender/mauve roses in the past and they all seemed to fry in the summer heat here as well as getting horrible rust and powdery mildew and/or the color being a washed out gray.
This one, however, is completely unphased by our summer heat and humidity and bloomed like crazy all of last summer. I was shocked that it did so well. The color is exactly like in Neals post up above. GREAT fragrance, blooms last several days, minimal thorns, and holds up well when cut for a vase. It's sort of the perfect lavender florabunda...IMO. My particular plant bloomed in clusters as well as single stem flowers.
