I only grew this rose for one year, before circumstances forced me to move out-of-state (out-of-Alabama.) On its own roots, it quickly grew to a 4' x4' bush. Its medium pink bloom are very old fashioned in appearance (what would you expect from Mr. Austin!) I kept the bush deadheaded to encourage rebloom and was not disappointed. As with all rugosas, it was left off of the spraying schedule for blackspot and such. I imagine, it would make an amazing lower hedge; if planted 18" on center in the southern USA.
