Another possibility (not leaning more towards this, I'd still call it Neptune) would be Singin' the Blues. One thing I didn't notice before was that it was ruffled slightly. If it's ruffled, then we can add Singin' the Blues into the mix http://www.helpmefind.com/rose... http://www.helpmefind.com/rose...

but I'm not leaning too much that way because of the very mauvy color of the buds versus yours that are definitely more magenta.

A very uncommon rose is Florence Delattre (http://www.helpmefind.com/gard...) I got it from RU a few years ago and it's gorgeous. But I'm thinking that yours is more of a HT shape & Florence is almost an English. Same with English Perfume http://www.helpmefind.com/gard.... HEAVENLY rose.. one of my absolute favorites, but, once again, has light buds & not those distinctive magenta colored ones. Natasha Monet is too white. Memorial day is too pink. Paradise has no scent, Paradise Found is too dark. Macho Man is not a common rose at all & all the pictures I have of it shows lighter colored buds. *MAYBE* Poseidon.. but yours the buds look pointed & these are rounded. http://www.helpmefind.com/rose...

I'm still thinking Neptune, especially after looking at Zuzu's picture here:


Specifically how it fades to that silver color, and the cabbage-like effect in the center.
