Does anyone have tips to share on how to prune this rose? I also read in the comments that it does better in part shade? If so, I should move mine. Zone 7a, Provo, Utah.

Here in the high desert, flowers are not particularly beautiful. Fragrance can be strong and lovely at times, no fragrance at other times . The plant needs a lot of coddling to grow. Most of all, it is extremely susceptible to thrips and to dry heat. Many buds abort and those that do start to open turn brown before opening even when sprayed for thrips and heavily irrigated. Flowers turn crispy and/or brown within 1 day when they do open, particularly at temperatures over 80 degrees. Flowers can last a bit longer in higher humidity situations such as the rare rain here, and in cooler temperatures.This is not everyone’s experience, I see.

Here in the Southeast, we get nice blooms in the spring. Late spring we get thrips, which cause the flowers to brown. June we get Japanese beetles. The blooms look pretty when paired with other flowers.

Can we update the size? He’s about 5 ft or taller. Not just for me but also saw that in a rose garden. He gets tall! Definitely not 35 inches!!!

Agreed! Mine threw out numerous canes that were over 6’ tall, and I only planted this rose as a bareroot this past spring. I’m actually here to see if anyone has grown this rose as a climber. I might just buy an obelisk and let her go. The octopus canes were not a good thing here. But, I love the flowers, the scent, and the overall health (no black spot!).

Mine is 8+ feet tall grafted on multiflora from Palatine. It's bushy and vigorous. It has long arching canes.
