Does anyone know of a remontant rose of similar size that is this color (& I don't mean "mauve", or pink-purple, or violet, or magenta, or crimson-purple)? I've grown this before, but don't have it now. I would like to grow something this color in a bed in front of New Dawn (I love the idea of the grapey-purple contrasting against the pale silvery pink), but finding this color (or anything remotely close to it) is a real challenge!
ps: I'm in hardiness zone 6.

I tend to favor Kim Rupert's 'Purple Buttons', but I am not certain if it would meet your color requirements. As you know, color, size of bloom and many other characteristics of a rose are varibable depending on climate, culture and more.

The first one that springs to my mind is Reine des Violettes, if you want an old garden rose. I don't grow it myself. Otherwise try one of the Austin roses.

I really love this rose for its deep purple color and for the fact that it covers itself in blooms for weeks. It's a wonderful sight to see.
