'Stile '800®' rose Reviews & Comments

This is a very beautiful, vigorous and very tall hybrid tea. Its flowers last a long time, but they can be subject to balling in wet/humid weather. Unfortunately, mine has not survived our second colder than usual winter here in Cambridge, England, hardiness zone 8. This is still a bit of a surprise to me, given that the winter was still within the z 8 parameters. I had purchased the plant directly from Barni Roses in Italy (they've sent me the biggest bareroot roses, I've ever seen, grafted on Dr Huey, I think), and I've had it for 3 years. The other HTs of this series I purchased from Barni seemed to have made it through the winter.

The description of this rose on HMF lacks height, width and other parameters, like the size of the flowers.
Would You, or someone else that is growing this rose, be so kind and update the info?
Thank You.

Whilst I don't tend to go around my garden putting a tape measure to my roses, or to any other plants or animals for that matter, I think it's fair to say that the Barni estimate of 110 cm height, also given here on the HMF site, is a bit conservative, at least for our mild southeast England climate. With good feeding, the plant can reach up to at least 5 ft/150 cm, bloom size is large but of course also variable, around 10-12 cm perhaps. Habit is very HT-like, stiff upright and narrow, best situated at back of border.
Hope this helps,
Andrea
