In 2009, in Sangerhausen exists a different plant named 'Miralba', with deep purple colored blooms. Labeled as 'Miralba', hybrid bengale, before 1841.

Naasra, additional research which we have added to References, shows that your photo most probably shows the correct 'Miralba'. The name 'Miralda' seems to be a transcription error of Nietner in 1880, who also added the carmine-red stripes to his description. Later author copied from each other (as usual). I would date the rose at 1834, as various catalogues from 1833 and earlier do not mention it. The white/pink-striped 'Miralda' in the other photos is certainly misidentified. We would appreciate you posting your photos on the 'Miralba' page.
