    In W. Paul's own ad in Gardeners' Chronicle of May 7, 1887 (p. 605) as one of the stated "New Roses for 1887."

    HMF distinguishes between breeding year and introduction year. We have added 1887 for year of introduction.

    Can anyone tell me how tall this rose usually is? Thanks in advance . . .

    Without having the rose..... the 2003 reference says "medium height".

    Thanks, Patricia. I haven't grown Hybrid Perpetuals before, so would that compare to a medium height for a hybrid tea or floribunda, for example?

    It's interesting that the 19th-century foundlings which were runty where we collected them, doing it tough on roadsides or in derelict gardens or churchyards, have mostly behaved like shrub-climbers when we planted them at Renmark, with regular drip-irrigation and fertilisation. Your rescued Dr Hogg was heading towards 6' last week, Patricia.

    I don't grow too many either, Dianne. So I guess a medium height to slightly taller HT would be equivalent.
