Steve Singer at Wisconsin Roses is listing this one....he buds and provides the maidens, just got this one in April.....wish it had the "usual" fragrance assoicated with this color. The form, however, is quite formal and lovely.....

***A disease laden mess. Period. Have to judge on a curve here in Columbus, 6a and hot ande humid but what a mess this one is, easily in the bottom 5 of my 100+ with blackspot and there is no fragrance to boot which is odd with this color. But maybe 1 in 4 blooms truly IS a work of art. But Fragrant Plum can do the same. Sterling Silver is less vigorous but heathier. My maiden is now a full bush. Somehow. I cannot get rid of a healthy plant but in all honesty I see no reason why anyone would waste their time on this disease prone, non-fragrant purple..........there are just so many better options................
