Not completely open yet, but love the colour, had loads of attempts with the camera to get the colour right, still not dark enough, really does look nearly black.

Thanks everyone :-) a friend gave me this, in a huge pot a few weeks ago, after I'd admired it on her allotment last year, also gave me another 'Rip City' which I think is a similar colour has buds but no flowers open yet.
Yes Amy had the same problem with a rose 'William Shakespeare' just couldn't manage to capture the proper colour.
