Default Rose bush sizes

Hi Shiva,

Thanks. I already have Europeana. Yes, Europena is one of the best rose
bushes I have.
But mine grows to around 4-4.5 feet. Do I have to maintain it at 3' when
dead heading?
What about Gene Boerner? That also grows to about 5'. I am planning to add
some
more red and white. Let me check out White Lightnin' and Scentiemental.
I am also planning to get Fragrant cloud and Hot cocoa.

Different nursery's web page say different sizes for JFK and Fragrant

I am in Zone 9 and like to get ideas. I am looking for rose bushes (red

and
white)
that are not more than 3-4 feet tall.


It does not get any better than Europeana for a red floribunda. Wonderful

bushy shape, never out
of bloom, perfect clear red color and stayed at 3 feet here in Zone 7.

Little to know fragrance fo
my nose but some say it does have fragrance. Best fragrant white rose that

blooms in sprays and
stays at about 3-4 feet here is White Lightnin'. Fabulous lemony scented

rose, stays in bloom,
laughs at disease, out vigors fungus, even. I also love Scentiemental for

its fragrance and
totally unique blooms of stripey, brush strokey burgundy and white, but it

blows if you look at it
two hard. I grow three.
