This is definitely one of those Austins which take quite a few years to settle into a predictable growth pattern. Like a lot of Austins, in its juvenile stage of growth, it is very lax, tending to sprawl and droop but after 4-5 years, it stiffens its sinews into something more useful (I don't enjoy white roses flopping into the mud) although it will never be a strongly upright rose. I suspect some discreet supports would be a useful strategy with this one since it also has a slightly wayward tendency which will, I think, form a nicely fountaining spectacle.
