Betty Prior is a substantial bush. It isn't very tall (about 4 to 4-1/2 feet), but very bushy, wide, and thick-stemmed at the base. Contrary to the information on this website, I do not recommend growing this in a container, especially in warmer climates, unless the gardener has a weight-lifter friend. It has little, if any, fragrance. Another bit of erroneous information: the website states that Betty Prior is winter-tender. This is untrue. This is a tough, extremely hardy rose. I live in zone 7; our summers are hot and often drought-prone. Winters are unpredictable. They can be mild for a couple of years in a row and then brutally cold and icy for another few winters. Betty Prior survives them all with no dieback. I have also made lovely floral arrangements with the flowers--very striking and different in the vase. This is a wonderful, carefree shrub.
