My local garden center had a huge fall clearance sale in October 2009 that included 50% off roses. Like I could resist that. I went on the first day of the sale at opening and two hours later came home with four roses. This was one of them. I had spotted it before and given it an appreciative eye, so when I went there for the sale I did have it in mind. There were two Purple Tiger plants there, and the lady I chatted with while we sorted through roses took the other one.
