    I almost shovel pruned 'Rainforest' last year (2013). It had been planted in a spot that got several hours of afternoon shade and was a one cane wonder after three years. I moved it to a center bed where it gets no afternoon shade and it is covered with blooms this year (2014) and has tripled in size. Since it has only been in that spot for one year, I don't know how large it will grow, but it certainly seems to be a happy rose.

    Rainforest, with its perfectly shaped buds and blooms and intriguing hints of green at the petal edges, has never grown taller than 12 inches in my garden and may need to be grafted to reach the "advertised" 3-4 feet.
