I took a cutting of this rose from Kim Rupert's garden in Santa Clarita (So. Cal) five years ago and the plant now reaches 6' high. This is our top cutting rose. The blooms last well over a week in the house and because of the tremendous quantitiy of blooms (some sprays have ten plus flowers) an arrangement of only Anne Harkness can have flowers in multiple stages of opening which is simply a show-stopper.
