Currently blooming here. Color is a clear silvery lavender, with a more magenta edge. When it was 105F out for a week or two, it was considerably darker colored. But, yes, it does actually have substantial lavender coloring in it.
Thank you for all you do! Sorry, I should have converted it into inches ... By the way, it is not sold as a hybrid tea, but as a cluster-flowered rosebush (floribunda, therefore, I presume ... ).
Probably because the catalog and MR12 label it an HT. So, I guess, it is officially an HT. However, it looks floribunda-like to me in the photos. We gardeners don't get to label them, as we unfortunately know.
Plant architecture reminds me a bit of 'Colorific', which is a large-flowered floribunda, with huge candelabras.
Then again, I've seen floribundas with larger blooms than some of the UK HTs, and some American floribundas with larger blooms than some HTs anywhere, so, yeah. Fun stuff.
