Very pleased with this hardy rose in Maryland, 7b. First season bare root from Palatine. She is in 19'' pot, has grown to a manageable 4.5', and is able to take the heat, humidity, and the rain with no issues. I imagine she could get a little taller if I put her in the ground. Palatine's 2-3' height description is a bit off but they do say it depends where you are growing it so keep that in mind when selecting this rose. What I love about Rosemantic Red most are the blooms which are long lasting. Pretty good black spot resistance but I do spray fungicide so can't comment for non spray gardens.

I am in Maryland also and grow Rosemantic Red in my no-spray garden. It does blackspot some and the lover parts of the shrub will defoliate, but overall vigor seems unaffected. It has grown bigger than expected and can easily hit 5’ tall by 3.5 feet wide. It blooms more than any other rose grow.
