Oh, heck yeah -- Ingrid's right. "Antique" roses can be big enough for anyone.
It's less size, I guess, than habit. Hybrid Teas (as a generalization) are very upright (my husband once said that they all look like they went to Military School) -- where the older roses are rounder, bushier, arching, mounding . . . . Today's modern Shrub Roses do some of that, too.
