As of time of writing, all the color photos posted are of a very pink rose. 'James Sprunt' should be some shade of crimson.

A quick check in 'The Old Rose Advisor' (by BCD) reveals two descriptions of the color of 'James Sprunt': "Carmine red just the same as its parent. (Cramoisi Superieur)"; and ";Deep cherry red flowers, rich and velvety,";
So it would seem that all the photographs provided by one person, with no provenance given for the rose, are incorrect.

There is a typo in the "References" section. In the quote attributed to The Old Rose Adventurer, the HMF quotation from the book states, in part, "that firm did not exist in 1819." Actually, the book states "that firm did not exist in 1849."
