Masha, thank you for commenting. Unfortunately I lost my plant (and several others) after fertilizing during the drought of 2008 when due to a knee problem I couldn't get outside to water enough and see to the needs of the roses. However, I bought it as a band in '06 I think and it grew very vigorously to about three and a half feet in a large pot and was very bushy. It was a frequent bloomer and very healthy. I am hoping to replace it soon as it was one of my favorites. I hope yours catches on and grows well for you. Roselee
