Colette is one of my September orders.
Can I maintain her as shrub versus a climber?

I'd love to see pictures of Colette.

Yes, she's not a big climber.

I have the yellow sport, 'Lunar Mist'. I don't have the greatest picture but it's there on the LHS. The big one is 'Laguna'.

The stems are flexible and suitable for self-pegging, which is a good way to make it dense and shrubby from the outset. Mine made basal shoots of 6-7'.

Not much of a climber at all here. But care-free otherwise.
