    In my minimal care garden in Texas near the Gulf, Red Cascade exceeds miniature stature, easily sending out 10 - 12' canes. This rose is one of the few which always had blooms on it through the dreadful drought of 2011. It is also very easy to root from cuttings. I have trained mine on a pasture fence where it would probably be even more huge were it not trimmed by the livestock.

    Noted by Antique Rose Emporium:
    "Imagine our surprise to discover Red Cascade was introduced as a weeping miniature, considering we had it growing well up a 14 feet tall cedar post! It can be a very versatile rose. It always attracts attention with its fine-leaved foliage and profuse one inch, blood red blooms. When in bloom, it is simply smothered in color."
