In a fit of enthusiasm, my wife and I fell for a specimen of
this rose, and are now considering what to do with it.
We have a very ugly small tree which flowers to an almost
negligible extent, and has barely enough leaves to keep it
alive. It occured to us to just let the Kiftsgate loose on
it, without bothering with any regular training. Is this a
viable or a bum idea?

Small tree .. big rose? Does not compute.
Can't you let it take over the house instead? If you were kind to it, it
might let you in the door .. sometimes.
