Smoky is an incredible rose, Trish, but most nurseries are not selling the real Smoky. I bought three or four from Vintage Gardens and Moore's that produced solid brick-red or burnt-orange blooms and looked nothing like the Smoky I bought when the rose first came out in the late 1960s. I lost it in a divorce a few years later, but I never forgot how unique it was. The real Smoky is a russet rose with silvery-burgundy reverse and a bright orange center. Burlington is the only place I know of that definitely carries the real thing.
From the pictures, it looks possible that Rogue Valley is carrying the real Smoky. I can see the mauve tones in the outer petals, so it looks promising. It's very difficult to photograph the rose and capture all three of the distinct colors. so the Rogue Valley photos may have missed the orange center.
