I have Foxy Lady on multiflora roots in my NJ zone 7b heavy, slightly alkaline clay, slow-draining soil. Foxy Lady has shiny leaves, medium-to-dark green. It rarely has any issues with black spot spots n my no-spray garden, and is a beautiful shrub in the landscape. After its second year, it’s grown to a nicely rounded 3.5’ tall by about 3’ wide. The flushes bring a lot of flowers, and it repeats on the faster side for me. I’m very happy with this rose. It’s healthy, and seems happy with an average amount of fuss and care. The color of the bloom is striking against the foliage. The blooms look really pretty in the vase and on the shrub. They last pretty well in the vase, too.

I have Malicorne grafted on multiflora. It grows very upright for me, in my zone 7b garden (heavy clay soil, drainage isn’t the best, slightly alkaline). In its first year, it grew to over 4’ tall and it’s about 18”-24” wide. Its natural habit seems to be a nice vase shape. The flushes are amazing, with lots and lots of flowers. The repeat is pretty average. I have Malicorne in a south-facing bed, and the blooms don’t get scorched. The blooms are really rounded and beautiful. It’s pretty unique among my reds, both for the color and the shape of the blooms. I don’t recall issues with black spot. It’s just a healthy, lovely rose bush. I didn’t bring the blooms inside, so I’m not sure about vase life. The flowers do last a decent amount of time on the shrub.

I’ve had this rose bush for two years now. It’s absolutely amazing. It’s growing in partial shade and has gotten to a nice size-about 3’ tall and 3.5’ wide. It’s very healthy, and blooms frequently. It really covers itself with blooms, and the flushes last a long time. It almost looks like a hydrangea when it’s in peak bloom, just from the sheer number of flowers. The pollinators love it, too. The shrub is very well-branched and has a nice rounded shape. It seems perfectly happy in my dense, somewhat alkaline clay (even without the dark, glossy leaves I usually look for), and doesn’t seem to mind when conditions are especially wet or rainy. Overall, this rose seems to require very little care and earns its spot in my garden many times over. Zone 7b, NJ.
