8th-year own-root The Dark Lady is 100% healthy in my zone 5a garden. It's more drought and heat tolerant than other Austins, blooming well at 99 F heat this mid-June. Also more shade-tolerance than Marie Pavie.

Grown on its own roots, this is a meager plant with unbelievably magnificent blooms. Everytime I think to give up on it, it goes and produces THIS.

My 8th-year own-root The Dark Lady bloom is large at 4 inch across with biochar. Smaller red bloom is W.S. 2000, and pink bloom is Radio Times. The Dark Lady has a nice wafting scent of old rose. Its old rose scent is also good when the bloom is aged in the vase. Bloom is the largest among any red Austin at 4" (versus Munstead Wood at 3")
