This rose is huge now, by the way. Its like Bonica on steroids. Autumn growth attempts to climb before going dormant. The root system (I moved it to a bigger spot) was pretty hefty despite being transplanted 2 years prior. It still mildews, and it still blooms through the mildew, lol.

Thanks Michael, give me the dimensions and I'll post them. The only seedling I ended up keeping from this cross is ARMLB2. It does not mildew here and has produced some nice seedlings for me.

If I let it go, it would have been about 4' tall x 4.5' wide, with random 5' tall canes. I kept it to a rounded 3' W x 4' T ball though. It produces canes in an even fashion, making it easy to shape. It'd definitely get larger there, but autumn weather does seem to trigger a extra growth spurt in it. By the way, no cold damage from the cold snap in late 2010.
