| I need a short pink or pink blend for the front of my garden. I was thinking of the Alywick rose. Does anyone have any other suggestions? |

| Do you mean Alnwick? If so - very nice rose bt somebody from your zone or similar will need to speak to size. It is a nice small bush here. |

| The Alnwick Rose's fragrance is out of this world, one of the best of the Austins, IMHO. It is a compact rose, repeats well. Bishop's Castle has a similar growth habit, a little taller. It also have a wonderful fragrance. Wisley 2008 is immature in my garden, but looks like it will be about the same size as The Alnwick. Beautiful fragrance to this rose as well. |

| Both of my The Alnwick roses are back of the border roses, easily 5-6' tall even in less than prime conditions. Krista's zone 4 might keep hers more compact - mine is narrow side to side but very upright and tall, like Queen of Sweden. If you want a more reliable short pink Austin, Pretty Jessica seems to stay short for everyone, my Sharifa Asma is only 3' tall, and I think Jubilee Celebration would be short if it ever survived a winter for me (smile). In the PNW, things may differ. Cynthia |

| This is the third year with the Alnwick rose for me and it is also about 5 feet tall in my garden. Very beautiful and vase shaped. Love the blooms and fragrance but not a front of the border rose. |

| Oh boy thanks guys...5 ft is way to tall. |
