'Muzi-Lucia' rose Reviews & Comments

In its second year, my own-root Muzi-Lucia definitely improved in 2024 but still has quite a way to go to be fully established. It's an upright grower for me, but growth has not yet "taken off" despite its placement in a prime full sun location with great soil and drainage.
The bloom color for me has been more muddled than vivid - producing zero cut blooms worthy of bringing into house thus far. If it has a fragrance, it's quite mild. It has been in the ground for about a growing season and a half. Doesn't seem to be prone to disease. They say in the third year they leap, and Muzi-Lucia will have to do that for me to avoid the shovel down the road.

I found this quote on Ludwig's Roses Facebook page when doing a search for this rose:

'Muzi-Lucia LUDbursun never stops producing medium sized, shapely blooms on good stems all season long. An amazing result crossing the lilac 'Paradise' (Burning Sky) x the yellow 'Johannesurg Sun'.

My one-year Muzi-Lucia has made it through winter in Zone 5b (Chicago area) and is in quite good shape. Winter protection was shredded mulch piled about 5 to 6 inches high. Looking forward to seeing how this one develops.

Striking coloration, raspberry caramel comes to mind. Very small plant, very small blooms even in mild temperatures of early spring. Blooms are coming in clusters as own root plant slowly develops. About the size of a miniflora this one is and I’m not happy about that. I’m also getting blackspot on this variety, 1 of 3 out of 70 that have it. I’m holding off making a “cut” here but the color alone won’t save it. I’m not a grower of minis and minifloras that’s the big deal breaker. Then there is the blackspot…….I’ll hold off until end of the year, will give it a full season but so far other than color it doesn’t appeal to me nor is it a good fit for my collection.

Probably needs to be grafted/budded

I think I’ll try that as I do still have mine. I put it with the floribundas I grow and it fits in a lot better with them. The plant has gotten healthier and it does seem happy and eager. It remains very small scale with lots of clusters.
