really astonishing, that there's no lilac or purple rose in the parentage-tree! Where does that coulour come from?!

I have got a lot of purples from non-purple, but they typically show from very specific backgrounds, and not in this rare ash-y tone, which is more specific to only a few lines of roses. The parents listed don't match those ideas.

probably comes from treating the seeds with radiation/EMS.... All of them cause mutation, quite common in modern breeding.

Considering how close the stems, bud clustering type, and foliage are to 'Rhapsody in Blue', I would be more inclined to believe the stated parents are a seed or pollen parent, and not the sole parents.

Looking at the lineage, one wouldn't expect this colour.

I'm skeptical of the male parent. And skeptical it isn't something from something more modern.

I have this rose now in the garden for the third year and it is extremely sensitive to black spot. There are about 200 kinds of roses in my garden and this rose is one of the most sensitive. Spray with celaflor, liqui cop or rosacur hardly helps. Only Spray with Topsin (an old antifungal) helps a bit.
That's very unfortunate, because the flowers are beautiful
