Hi,

I was wondering if anyone in zone 4/5 can tell me the maximum size, (height & width) of this rose?

Thanks,

Bob

I can't answer that, but I thought you'd like to see how big it is in the Sierra Foothills of Northern California

Thanks Jerri.

That's why I was asking specifically from zone 4/5 people :-)

It's bigger than that here. Not a lot, but noticably.

MG so is it like a R. glauca?

I have one that I have pruned to a fountain shape, it is 7/8 feet tall now, but it is manageable. There are 3 denuded trunks 4 feet up, then there is the canopy.

Yes, much the same. If you care, they both produce seedlings for me. Glaucas are easy to recognize by the color. Eglanterias have to get a bit bigger, then they can be fondled and recognized by the smell.

Thanks MG.

Glauca produces a lot of seedlings for me too.

For the past few days, a squirrel is having its fill of vitamin C, by going through the hips methodically, probably a ton of seedlings next year :-)
