I planted this 1-gal potted rose on May 28, 2024 and by winter is grew to nearly 8' tall (I am 6'2" and its highest point was just out of my reach). Easily the most vigorous of some 30 new plantings that year. It was self-supporting throughout the season. An incredible plant. We had significant die back over the winter, but that was largely universal (we are Z5 but his -23 this past January). Every rose, including this one, have jumped back up from the ground though, and so fair Golden FT looks as vigorous as last year.
