This rose does excellent in the Hudson Valley area of NY State. Fast repeat bloomer and wonderful fragrance.

Vicki,
Exactly the type of feedback we wish everyone would post, HMF is all about the real-life experience of of the gardening community. Thanks!
The only way to make it even better would be if you would click on the MY HMF menu item and use the member information form to tell us a little more about yourself and your garden so we can put your comments in context. At the very least, knowing your USDA zone would be very helpful.
Thanks again.

Any comments about Purple Passion's performance in zone 7? What about disease resistance?

Purple Passion is a blackspot disaster here in Oregon. Melodie Parfumee is similar and is far superior in every way. It is blackspot prone, too, but not as bad as Purple Passion.
Wild Blue Yonder, which is a purple grandiflora, is far healthier here than any of the above in Oregon. This is true for Big Purple as well.

This is a lovely rose (Maryland garden). The flowers remind you a bit of a cabbage rose without that bulky thickness to them. The shade is unique and remains true from opening til the petals fall. Nice fragrance although not terribly strong. The plant is quite vigorous and healthy.

You will need to research your hardiness zone. I believe that Chicago is zone 5. Look up this rose as its other name "Purple Heart" and see what the minimum zone is, i.e., zone 5-10, or 6-10. If it is listed as zone 5, it should survive. Purple Heart can be obtained own-root (better in cold climates) from Michael's Premiere Roses.
