Frederick Maryland 7a
It's small. It definitely needs to be in the front of the garden, but be careful it doesn't get lost. I have it in a pot.
However, I see the picture of it in a garden in California and it looks very big there. I guess it depends on your location.
Update- This rose did not make it through its second winter. We had freezing with no precipitation.

My Veilchenblau is currently overgrowing a Buddleja davidii which in our climate tends to keep its leaves in winter. Veilchenblau is not the least bothered by this fact. It has grown 4 meters (12 feet) high in the 3 years of its life here. And now, in January, after short, but severe frosts, the top branches still have all their leaves. (I once saw Veilchenblau at a nursery in winter where it formed an evergreen wall-like hedge.) Growing next to blackspot-infested "presumed to be Mary Rose" and only a couple of feet away from the mildewy mess that Paul's Himalayan Musk is in my garden, Veilchenblau has never had one diseased leaf, and I don't spray at all. So, while Paul and Mary are going to be acquainted with my shovel (to move them, or to get rid of them), Veilchenblau will be King of the Garage Roof. This rose can't be praised enough.

Thank you very much.
The purple prince is only in Taiwan's winter.
In other seasons,she is always in red or deep red color.
