Does anyone know what size Black Lady is in PNW 8B? And, does this dark red rose need some shade to protect its color? TIA.

You might want to message Rogue Valley Roses. I believe they are in Medford, Oregon and could probably advise you on size in the Pac NW.

Okay, it grew out and bloomed a bit so I can comment.

It has HT form for its first half, and OGR form in its second half. Foliage is a lot like Voodoo/Louise Hay/We Salute You, but much more compact. Foliage is flori size, and so are blooms. Quite compact but not a runt. Color is like Marilyn Monroe, but without the green.


I like it. Very shiny, dense, and ethereal. No comment on scent.

There is NOTHING compact about this rose. Just give it plenty of space and a stake to prop up its many many blooms. Mine is in its second year and I really have to get it out of its pot and into a large space in the garden.

Photos of the bush would be of value.

It was among the 120+ I moved last autumn/winter. I can do that next year.

The other used may be experiencing a climatic effect different than mine. Mine has been in the soil, also, but I do use excess fertilizer. I use excess on all roses because I send seedlings off to trial. This serves to partially recreate field trial treatment, where they pump them up with nitrogen and either mass overhead water or flood the rows to water in very high UV climates. In doing this, it tells me which roses will shows up with powdery and downy as parents of seedlings or as seedlings in testing.

Rose trials are almost always exaggerated artificial conditions that breeders rarely expect.

Anyway, I can do a photo Spring 2023.

I used to upload pictures, but I no longer have an app to make my Iphone pictures files size smaller. You need smaller files. I will try again.
Hey, It worked. I will start loading pictures again.

I'm not sure which version you use, but there is an editor installed into the same app that takes that photos proprietary to iphones. Once you snap said photo, go back and click on it, and there are tons of little tools to use, including silly filters.

Glad it worked out for ya.

Mine did mature after it bloomed. The mature architecture was similar to Singin in the Rain, but slightly tighter. I have Garden Delight 3 roses down, and its larger and wider. This is no 'Remembrance' type of compact, but it isn't very large here in the Pacific Northwest.

The form and scent are very nice. I am not usually into "OGR form" but the colors and petals persist for a good time, and did drop petals properly. The color is also interesting. Different enough from month to month without looking like junk from the weather. It would probably make a good kitchen table rose that actually has some scent to it.

With all that said, I still love my 'Easy Going' better, for this color and growth class. It's brighter, more rounded, and a real do'er.

I am liking this a lot! New for me this year, but definitely a winner.

I like it a lot. It has modernity and romance, and unlike many Romanticas, it doesn't suffer from rain rotting the blooms.

Haha, wish I knew about rain. . . Haven't seen much of that for many years. Damn drought!

You say that now, but people quickly change their minds once they experience the "joys" of rainforest climates lol. We have a low population for such a large state for a reason.

I do hope you guys get some more acceptable weather in the near future, after the incoming August Hell. I know its been a rough set of years in the SW.

Thanks for your input. How would you rate its disease resistance and shade tolerance? Is it good on its ownroot? We live near Seattle and it's mostly rainy or cloudy from mid fall to late spring. The healthier the better!
