I am sorry, but your rose does not look like 'The Dark Lady'.

KBW's Dark Lady rose matches with Dark Lady grown at Chicago Botanical Gardens with over 5,000 roses. They have at least 3 Dark Lady together: short bush and lots of blooms. Their Dark Lady is grafted on Dr. Huey, and KBW's Dark Lady is grafted on Centifolia. The rootstock which a rose is grafted on make the growth habit different. My William Shakespeare 2000 as own-root looks like a mini-rose, compared to BIGGER wide-spread growth of the same rose grafted on Dr. Huey.

Hi Tatiana Roses
In addition to what Straw has written, please do keep in mind that the bush shown in photo is a 9 months old grafted on centifolia rootstock hence a smaller size. Could you please be specific with your observation that makes you feel this is not The Dark Lady?
best regards
