I have two plants of Sweet Riley. One still in a pot that hasn't yet bloomed. The one I have planted in the ground on an arch responded quickly being planted. It has grown to 6 feet. It bloomed in flushes all last season. I will have photos of the lovely peachy-pink blooms this spring. It can get some Black Spot but is mostly disease resistant. It tends to bloom on the ends of the long canes though still very attractive in bloom. I plan to prune the canes to different lengths.
