No growing comments here yet so I'll take the plunge. Wish I had a good picture to share but I don't. I have a first year maiden from Wisconsin Roses on multiflora planted Spring, 2021 in my new garden (Chicagoland zone 5b). Growth exceeded my expectations for a first year maiden. I planted Clair right next to Alec's Red and it's amazing how similar the two are/were. Clair has perhaps a tad more of a pinkish slant to the red bloom color but growth was quite similar. Long (and strong) stems were the norm, form was quite good (but not quite Queenly) and the blooms came one to a stem with only minimal disbudding required. For the most part our growing conditions in 2021 were hot and dry. Clair did not seem to slow down in the heat. I did not detect much fragrance. Disease-free for me with regular spraying. I believe this is an excellent rose all around.

If it improves at all in year 2 (2022) I will be looking to plant more bushes of Clair Elyse. Highly recommended.
