That's a different rose. You're on the page for Christensen's 'Dark Knight.' Edmunds' Roses is selling 'Dark Night,' a new Meilland rose.

Yep, Zuzu is correct. The rose that is Dark Night is actually the same rose as Eddy Mitchell in Europe and Garden Director Bartje Miller in California. Edmunds has it now as Dark Night and I think it will be in the Star Roses catalog for 2012 under Dark Night as well.

I purchase Aloha Climber as a potted rose last fall, in mid-november it had 3 blooms on it. This season it has taken off very quickly, it is loaded with buds(which i thought it unusal, i figure it would just grown for a season) but it is flowering faster than my social climber did at this age. Beautiful full petal flowers, and i just noticed the strong scent it has. I loved it so much i purchased a barefroot which is also doing well and flowering. Both Alohas are on the back fence next to black magic. I needed shade tolerant varieties for that area. With all the rain we had gotten for two months and now the humdity Aloha had gotten some black spotting but it doesnt seem to really be spreading throughout the bush as with some of the others. I have not noticed any rust or mildew on it, as i have with some of my miniature roses. I do spray weekly for disease and insect controll.
Aloha is winter hardy for zone 6 PA, with no more that mulch protection. This rose is slow to open and it has staying power on the cane and in the vase. Great addition to any garden, very hardy rose.

I purchased Estelle last season, i was actually gonna purchase its the rose (Leonidas), that was my youngest daughter's wedding rose,i promised her we would plant it together after her wedding, but, after researching the rose i found it would not do well in a garden setting,(Thanks to Helpmefind) but the Estelle was more vigorous and hardy for the garden. I have found it to be just that, a very vigorous and hardy rose, this rose establish itself very quickly and it is disease resistant (although, i do spray weekly for disease and insect control), I so love the coloring and shape of this high centered rose, and it keeps its coloring til the end, no fading. This rose is not slowed by high heat, and i still had blooms on it in mid november. Estelle is winter and summer hardy to zone 6. It came through its first winter here without any problems. i donot mulch because all of my plant beds are rocked, so with just the 2 layers of rocks to act as some protection, estelle did just fine. J ust some minor prunning,i have noticed 2 new basil breaks since she broke dormancy. This is also a great cut flower, and has staying power in the vase as well as the on vine. My daughter is very happy with it, when she and her husband comes over she always looks at her rose,(she doesnt know the difference)!

I grew it. It did "okay", but it sulked here in Oregon, like St. Patrick and the other heat lovers do. Some roses just thrive where it is hot, hot, hot, and sit there when it is not, not, not :P

I purchased Don Juan potted rose last season from a local grower. I absolutely love this rose!!! I love it so much i purchase another for this growing season. The beautiful velvety petals makes you want to just stare at it. The fragance was stronger toward the end of the season, but thats probably because the rose was young. It rooted very quickly and started to cover my arbor in little time. This rose is not affected by heat or chilly temps (it was still flowering the end of nov). The rebloom time is very quick and the blooms are plenty. Don Juan last in a vase and on the vine. I will update to its winter hardiness in zone 6 when it breaks dormancy in a few weeks.
