It's funny to read the official stats for this rose: 4-7 feet tall and 3-4 feet wide. I planted mine about 8 feet below my back deck, hoping it might grow as high as the deck rail. It has climbed over that rail and has fanned out across the deck, completely obscuring the couch where the cats used to sleep in the sun. If it were upright, I suppose it would be 12-15 feet tall. The lack of upright support has also produced a spread of about 12-15 feet.
I purchased mine from Palatine, and the extra height and width probably are due to grafting. Palatine grafts roses onto multiflora stock.
It is an enchanting rose, producing lots of full-sized bouquets of globular blooms.

It's a medium size rambling rose (up to around 3 mts height). Branches and flowers starting from the lower part of the plant.
Pros: strong plant, longlasting, strongly perfumed groups of flowers.
Cons: It blooms in waves, a strong 1st bloom in spring followed by generally 2 small blooms (early and late summer). Flowers are sensitive to rain.
