| Which one? Any suggestions on roses of similar color on their own roots? |

| The Prince, a David Austin rose |

| Been researching. Now I want all three. Thanks for the tip Mauve! |
|
| Twilight Zone has received more favorable reviews here due to less fade in summer temps. I saw both this May at a municipal garden and only the slightly larger flowers on Twilight distinguished it from Ebb Tide. But they photographed differently! |

| The Prince is one tick towards purple from WS2000. It's still red, not purple. TZ, ET, and MB are truer towards purple along with Night Owl. I dug through my archives for these bouquets I did for serena with WS2000/TP and some purple/white dahlias
These are pretty true to color....... |

| I own all three and prefer the color of Ebb Tide. Twilight Zone is a better all around rose bush. The leaves are healthier and it is a stronger grower...in my garden. The Prince just isn't what I would consider purple, but it is a dark red, in my yard. Maybe it will change as it matures, or during the Fall. Lynn |

| Oh, All three are fragrant. Lynn |

| Thank you all for the help and the pictures. I'm leaning toward getting both Twilight Zone and Ebb Tide. I used to have Midnight Blue but my husband made me move it in the summer and it didn't get enough water. I want something with a fuller blossom than that. I might polk around for a bright orange or bright yellow rose as well. I would prefer to have own root. I see Heirloom has both Ebb Tide and Twilight zone own root. |
