Crested Damask

I am on Rogue Valley's waiting list for this one, but am perplexed by the size discrepancy between the nursery's website and HMF.

Rogue Valley says 2-3' on the 'mini' description and the full description lists 3' H x 4' W. HMF says 5-7'. Which is correct?

Thanks!

Paul Barden lists the size as 4-6'T X 5'W & I would think his info is fairly reliable because he hyb. this rose. Also OGR's mature size can vary due to climate & environmental conditions in your garden.

Makes sense. Had my fingers crossed on the smaller size though. :)
Thanks!

In zone 5b, I don't doubt this might potentially remain smaller than it is in my garden. However, I very much doubt it will remain smaller than 3 feet tall by 4 feet wide. If size is an issue, it isn't an aggressive grower and could easily be pruned to stay more compact.

I hope you will enjoy it. Its one of my favorites of the crested clan!
