This rose is neither 4' tall or with 4" blooms.

Now that I have had this rose for two years, I can say it is more of a classic HT type. It has bloom form and effect similar to "Lady Mary Fitzwilliam - in commerce as", except more petals. The color is a touch more modern and lighter than that. The blooms are 6" in spring and early summer here. While the buds are typical HT shape, they soon billow out to that classic old world HT form that stemmed from the original tea roses.

The plant is linear and not very bushy, and it grows to about 5'. The foliage is large, and glossy. Sometimes a little floppy with weight.

The fragrance has always been very strong for me. Very sweet, very strong.

I bought it for a space for a rose I assumed was smaller. I was wrong, but I have kept it there anyway because its a nice, classic rose.

Edit: It seems it has done it again. 2nd September in a row it has shot up a random 6' basal. Roses that do this tend to have Rosa rubinosa stuffed in their background. The minute the nights begin to get cold, Wham! 6' basal out of nowhere. 'Aperitif' does this, for example. Many other examples do. I had originally felt 'Helen Robinson' may be a hybrid of 'Rennaisance', but I didn't have any objective points to go off of at that point, other than various traits, However, I feel HR may be a hybrid between it and a large-flowered HT.

I would not let something like this dissuade anyone from a rose like this. It's an objectively good rose. Roses that send up late basals like this are not a problem. Just cut low in the winter and it starts over fresh every year. That stem will not try to "climb" again.
