This plant was destroyed in the December cold snap of 2009, so it no longer exists. :-(

I planted Cramoisis superior a year ago (ARE) and I expected the first year to be slow in seeing growth. This year I have about 10-12 beautiful blossoms on the bush but it is at most 18-20 inches high. It looks like a miniatureThis was not what I was expecting. I thought it could get 4-5 feet.

Give it more time. Mine first put on lateral growth before gaining height. It will have no trouble reaching the 4' to 5' that you want. Beautiful rose and plant habit...extremely tought plant that loves sun/heat when given proper water and soil.

I am in Tampa, FL and mine is growing like a weed. No disease problems. I have it on a balcony and it grew out into the open towards the sun. Quite a spectacle for those viewing my balcony. It loves water and soil with dehydrated cow manure!

It will get larger. Chinas can be slow sometimes, particularly if you're above the mason-dixon line. My experience is that they (Chinas) are like Teas in that they slowly build a large-ish, twiggy bush. I would fertilize it every week and work in some blood meal/bat guano into the soil.

just my 2 cents it does not like to be pruned heavy or it will sulk for a couple years. But, it should be an Earthkind Rose IMO, also. Needs some size in my garden to set hips but I have gotten a couple from it. Really a bullet proof rose in Tampa Bay

Just what we are looking for: to have everyone add their "2 cents" about plants they grow or are familiar with. Thanks.

I had a different experience. The wind nearlty pulled it out fo the ground so I knew it had to get cut back. I took it from 8' to 4'. It immediately started putting out tons of new buds. It may have something to do with age.
