"Height of 5' 7" to 6¼' (170 to 190 cm)" -- believe it! I planted a potted rose purchased at a high-quality family-owned garden/hardware store about three months ago. It is now almost five feet tall and despite a cold late spring and unexpected rain, has been pumping out huge fragrant blooms. A snifter of these blooms as a gift never fails to please.

This was a new rose for me last year and is already one of my favorites. Smells great and blooms like crazy even when the temp hits triple digits here (hot, humid Zone 7). Blooms seem to last forever on the bush. It’s in full sun all day with no burn to blooms or foliage. Very vigorous bush…gets tall and has numerous new canes even though it is young. I did lose a cane last summer…snapped with the weight of all those blooms during a strong storm. I staked the bush afterward, but looks like the canes should be strong enough this year without added support. The blooms do nod, but I love that look on this one.

I passed up on the chance to get Grand Dame since I doubt its cold-hardiness. Then I checked Houzz Rose forum and found 2 cold-zoners growing it. Update 2020: a friend in zone 5a, alkaline clay, reported that she lost Grand Dame twice through her winter.

Thanks so much for posting that the blooms do nod. I was a little worried that I was giving mine too much water! She's doing great here in sandy soil also, loaded in blooms, strong fragrance.
