Hello, I stumble across your well versed comments repeatedly, hence I dare post you a comment. I do have a few roses, of whom I do not know, who they are. As your have a Bleu Magenta, could you possibly tell me, if this could be a Belu Maganta too? It was bought as a Colonial white (not Sombreuil but the Wichuriana hybrid by Captain G. Thomas), bare rootedly and with no leafs. When the leafs came I was surprised they were so different from what I had expected (rather small, glossy), and when the flowers opened, I knew for sure it was something else. Where I bought it, people guessed it might be Veilchenblau. Growth habit (1,55 m in onle few months - planted in March this year!) and foliage however tell me that this cannot be true either. I'd really appreciate your help ... and if you do not feel too much annoyed, I'd love to ask you about my other "rose riddles" too .. Best Regards from Northern Germany

Hallo Rosengärtchen Deine Rose könnte 'Bleu Magenta' sein. Deine Photos sind etwas zu lila, aber das ist evtl wegen dem Photoapparat. Blume, Blätter und die drüsen am Blumenstiel sind ähnlich. Hast Du mit den Bildern von jedmar verglichen? Die Nebenblätter von BM haben lange Fransen und auch die Blattstiele haben einige Fransen.

Guten Abend - ich weiß nicht, ob meine letzte Antwort überhaupt auf den Weg ging, es gab Verbindungsprobleme mit dem Internet - Fransen!!! Viele Fransen ... also werde ich die fleißige Dame in Zukunft mit "Bleu Magenta" ansprechen! Vielen herzlichen Dank noch einmal! E. Nitsche

I regret I can't help you with your mystery rose, but I am quite intrigued by your comments about 'Sombreuil', AKA 'Colonial White', whose origin remains a mystery even now.
Do you know of records, oral history or private communication that would suggest that this rose is one of Capt. Thomas's creations? It wouldn't surprise me; he did produce some excellent roses, but I was not aware that any such origin had been documented.

Good evening, the information I posted was given to me on a handwritten label coming with the roses when I bought them. A very similar information is found here: http://www.landhausgarten.com/html/kletterrosen.html however this page is in german. The table though might be understandable for an anglophone reader too.
