Looking for a purple and a yellow rose

I want any shade of purple (the deeper the better) and a bright or golden yellow (yellow roses are usually so pale when open - I want *COLOR*!)
My roses are for cutting, the bushes never look very nice in the yard (they are on a side yard) because I keep roses in the house as long as they are blooming, so I'm always cutting the blooms. I like Hybrid Teas for cutting (longer stems) and I want a high petal count. In our warm weather, the high petal count roses last so much longer.
I have had Angel Face (but it's too small.)
My tip for prolific bloomers to keep you in cut flowers all season are Mikado, a red rose with some gold hints when open - it's almost "neon" it's so bright. It is very healthy and has nice foilage too. My other best one is Broadway - a variegated golden/ yellow, pink. If you know what a "Peace Rose" is - this is very similar.
