I've had this rose for about 12 years. It started out on my balcony and did very well, for a balcony rose. When transplanted to the garden 7 years ago - it's growth exploded. It is very healthy and is covered with flowers the whole summer. Besides giving it manure and a bit of bonemeal and marl, I don't have to take care of it at all. After the first heavy blooming period - it continues - but more sparsely right up to November - December (depending on the weather). Mine is about 120 cm high and 185 cm wide.
