She's getting pretty long! She needs support if you want her tall, but it looks like she'd make a very nice tall climber. I'm in NC, z7. Her flower form is also more refined in the cooler weather (and she is brighter if it's cool enough). Such a great rose. No scent, though. She doesn't mind pruning and she's not out of bounds, but if you need a tall rose, she'll get there, I think.
