'MEIscouby' rose Reviews & Comments

Description page states "Possibly identical with 'Belles Rives' / 'Stiletto'. See MEIzolnil." However, that might not be true as Grace Rose Farm is also offering Belle Rives/Stiletto/MEIzolnil with a slightly different description. I know some rose providers are not exactly on the up and up, but I would trust Grace Rose Farm enough to not believe they sell the same rose separately under two names and descriptions.
At this point, I would believe that it is more probable that they are sister seedlings like Red Eden and Crimson Sky than identical.

Maybe someone from Meilland can enlighten us?

Apparently its being sold through Bloomable branding this year, but its not listed. It's a Star Roses rose. I am guessing it will be a 2026 intro, with a limited 2025 release.
It looks like another, 'Enchanted Meadow', will also be released.
As you can see by the photos, 'Purple Aura' looks nothing like 'Stiletto'.

Star Roses has now listed 'Purple Aura' as MEIscouby.

Yeah, all that info is on the tags I posted to the photos section, including the American class they chose for it.

I don't think it's Stiletto. I have 3. Its a really nifty HT that is completely upright, yet does not get massive. The blooms are mid-size for its class, and its super cuttable. So right off the bat, the form does not match Purple Aura. Also, the color is not right for Stiletto in the photos. Stiletto in person has a somewhat darker face petal than reverse petal. And often the face is not monotone.
I don't think they're the same rose either based on the photos. With that said, sites like that like to romanticize their photos and we have no idea if a filter or other artisan edits were used.
