I have a mislabeled rose that I believe is Dark Desire.

Is the new foliage purple? The canes as well?
My mystery rose looks like DD, but I can't see much other than the blooms in the photos here,
I am pretty sure it's DD.

It's the most disease resistant HT I have, without a doubt.
It grows very tall and the blooms are probably 5" across.
It also blooms more frequently than Oklahoma, Mister Lincoln, Olympiad, Black Magic, and Chrysler Imperial in the same bed.

I think DD does have burgundy/purple-ish new growth.
On the third page of photos, see Carmenbcdc's photos from the 14th of October 2020.
Also, on the fifth page, Roger Edgin's photo from 1st of June 2019, shows some new growth and the overall shape of the bush.
I hope that helps.
