In light of there being so many pictures of roses going around under the name of 'Rose du Roi', I'm uploading some of my plant from Vintage Gardens, who propagated theirs as a reversion from 'Panachee de Lyon'. I've had to try and improve my poor photography to increase sharpness and decrease exposure, but no color alterations were made. This picture from May 2014 -- one year after planting it as an own-root band -- manages to ALMOST accurately capture the color -- some of the darker shadings didn't come through.

This picture from May 2014 -- one year after planting it as an own-root band -- shows the about-to-open bud with the "funky extra sepal". Also note foliage and canes -- very much like 'Portlandica', but perhaps more robust.

Climbing into 'Baltimore Belle' is Clematis 'Sweet Summer Love', whose about-to-open buds can be seen here nestled among the rose's open blooms. Picture taken June 10, 2018.
