| I would have never imagined that mislabeled roses were so common, I didn't even knew that they were ever mislabeled until reading around the forum here!
Anyway, here is another from my new garden, this one was labeled as Hot n Spicy and was a "body bag" rose. The photo on the bag showed a hot orange almost reddish hybrid tea shaped bloom. Also this looks nothing like the Hot n Spicy roses I've seen on HelpMeFind. I planted all of my beds by color and that has proven to be quite interesting as the new blossoms open up -- mostly nice surprises though, such as this one...
It has an amazing honey fragrance that I haven't smelled with a rose before. I love it! The color is magenta / fuschia. The bloom shape is quartered, I'm not sure what it is called, perhaps Old Garden? No idea here since I'm a newbie this year but I am enjoying learning all I can :) Thanks for your thoughts!

| Pretty, but definitely not HOT & SPICY! Might be one of the DAs. |

| Thanks, Beth! You think a DA would end up as a bagged rose? I thought they were only special order or from a fancy nursery. I looked up a few and it kind of looks like Young Lycidas but a little more quartered. Any other ideas? |

| Oh yeah the DA's do get bagged up once in awhile. I have a monster ABRAHAM DARBY that was supposed to be the climber ALOHA. Not sure what your rose might be. Maybe try posting some pics of the blooms on the bush. |

| Good idea! I'd be delighted with a surprise Abraham Darby. Kind of fun getting surprises since they are justification to buy another rose (the original intended one) :)

| Bumping this one up with a new bloom...happened upon a picture of William Shakespeare 2000 and thought this could be it, what do you think?
