I'm not sure what shade of purple, they are classified as Mauve..you are looking for.
William Shakespeare 2000 might fill the bill, though it is listed as a red.
For a source, click on the 'Available at' tab in the upper right.

Hi Joseph, An older rose out there, you might like, is one called " Cardinal Richeleu". It,s classified as an old garden rose, but , is a deep purple. I,m not sure about fragrance. ( I don,t have my rose reference book handy..:P..) Alot of people have described this rose as being so 'purple', some are turned off by it. I,ve seen one growing,and thought it was alright. :D..

Take a look at our Advanced Search. There you can search specifically for mauve/purple, strong-scented roses.
