I am hoping someone here is able to help me. I bought this small rose plant in a co-op. It is supposed to be Purple Rain (Kordes), but there have not been any "purple" or mauve blooms on it. Only pink flowers. Maybe I am mistaken about the color of the flowers for this particular cultivar and it is indeed supposed to be pink. But why give it a name of "Purple" Rain?

The other thing I am noticing about this plant is it's growing habit is almost like a trailing or climbing rose. I have no idea what this is if it is not the Kordes rose plant. Any help IDing it or at least verifying whether or not it is Purple Rain would be very much appreciated! Thanks to anyone who can help me out here. It has very small blooms and the plant itself is smaller with small leaves almost like a miniature rose plant. The only thing that makes me think that it "could" be a Kordes rose is because the foliage is really nice. No diseases or fungus or even yellow leaf drop. But other than that, it sure has me wondering.
