I wonder if this rosa "lavender Pinnochio" can be grown in New Mexico, USA. We live in a valley between Santa Fe and Taos. Normally, we can go down to -10 in winter. Hmm...
Thank you, SHK

Probably. This line of roses prefer heat over cold or wet. The main origin of the "true mauves" is derived from a desert rose species.
If this rose is ill-advised by the local societies there, you can also inquire about 'Distant Drums', which is easy to grow, just as fragrant, and of a similar color type. Although it ranges from tans to orchid, rather than tans to mauve.

Rosa foetida and Rosa foetida bicolor. However, recently Rosa persica has been lending a hand with the "sad mauve" colors to new heights.
All desert roses, and mostly strong yellow in pigment, where extra pigment (purple eye or a false dark orange petal face) also comes into play.
Further, there are some noisette/tea roses that have displayed a similar habit of creating otherwise violet/dark pigmented roses into silvery lilacs and other similar novel colors.
All of these roses are from desert climates, or in the case of tea roses, the subtropics.

This rose grows extremely well here in the Atlanta area. Mine is own root and has not a real problem with disease. It does get wider than taller. It's about 3ft tall and 4 ft wide. No real problems with blackspot either. Pleasant fragrance, good repeat, nice tidy bush. It really should be more widely grown and available.
