'Purple Aura' rose Reviews & Comments
HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Description page states "Possibly identical with 'Belles Rives' / 'Stiletto'. See MEIzolnil." However, that might not be true as Grace Rose Farm is also offering Belle Rives/Stiletto/MEIzolnil with a slightly different description. I know some rose providers are not exactly on the up and up, but I would trust Grace Rose Farm enough to not believe they sell the same rose separately under two names and descriptions.

At this point, I would believe that it is more probable that they are sister seedlings like Red Eden and Crimson Sky than identical.

Apparently its being sold through Bloomable branding this year, but its not listed. It's a Star Roses rose. I am guessing it will be a 2026 intro, with a limited 2025 release.

It looks like another, 'Enchanted Meadow', will also be released.

As you can see by the photos, 'Purple Aura' looks nothing like 'Stiletto'.

Star Roses has now listed 'Purple Aura' as MEIscouby.

Yeah, all that info is on the tags I posted to the photos section, including the American class they chose for it.

I don't think it's Stiletto. I have 3. Its a really nifty HT that is completely upright, yet does not get massive. The blooms are mid-size for its class, and its super cuttable. So right off the bat, the form does not match Purple Aura. Also, the color is not right for Stiletto in the photos. Stiletto in person has a somewhat darker face petal than reverse petal. And often the face is not monotone.

I don't think they're the same rose either based on the photos. With that said, sites like that like to romanticize their photos and we have no idea if a filter or other artisan edits were used.
