Purple Roses

Dark 'Purple Roses' and Light 'Purple Roses'
It's very seldom you'll see purple roses, or rose bushes, tea roses, or climbing roses that have this color
in a home garden, even though there are many varieties of this shade;
colors such as deep lavender, lilac, violet, even roses that are blue-purplish, available in the rose family.
'Purple Rose' Pictures

The above picture of a very 'purple' rose flower is actually named Burgundy Iceberg rose. But it's not really burgundy at all. This is my favorite 'purple' rose. It's a prolific floribunda rose, and related to the famous Iceberg rose.
