| When I saw a half-price, somewhat neglected rose labeled Chrysler Imperial at Lowe's, I bought it b/c I had fond memories of the variety from years ago. Today the plant's flower bud opened: no scent and not a deep, true red but more like a pink-red. Likely mislabeled.. bummer! I wonder if this happens a lot at the box stores. ?? |

| I've seen a number of flowers mislabled in Lowes. I've also bought an expensive shrub from a reputable local nursery that was mislabled. |

| OR ... It could be that your rose opened blooms in our recent heatwave. In my own garden, Also Coastal SoCal, I have seen blooms which normally open deep cerise, bloom, instead, in a soft pink. Subsequent blooms, as temps diminished, returned to normal color. Give your rose a little time, and see what it does. Jeri |

| The color sounds right for CI to me and the fact that there was no scent could be because of the weather like Jeri said. I wouldn't decide it's a mislabel just yet. |

| The classic dark crimson HTs produce different shades of red in different weathers. |

| I was at Lowes checking out what was left of the roses. They had several that were red and white combination labeled as Mr. Lincoln. |

| The problem happens everywhere. I bought a Lady Banks Yellow at an organic-minded store; the shrub actually was the white version of Lady Banks. Meanwhile, at Lowe's, I bought a mophead hydrangea (Nikko Blue) that turned out to be lacecap. Brother... Once this happens to you, you start to buy some plants only when they are blooming! |

| The Blue Moon I bought this spring at a big box, I forgot which one, is some sort of a generic lavender HT, but I am pretty sure not BM. |
