Mine are well over 12 feet tall. They are Don Juan and "trained" to a
trellis. Two years ago I bent the long canes over and tied them and
lots of side shoots grew out the bent canes. I have to keep trimming
them back. Must be all that cow manure I throw at them. I only have
three bushes, but that's enough work for me.

The Guiness record for the tallest rose bush is somewhere
around 11 feet. This is supposedly with the help of some
sort of commercial rose food. I forget the brand.

I have a rose bush (that was present when I bought my house
11 years ago) that grows each year to about eight or nine
feet with nothing but watering. Each March I prune it down
to about four feet.

I'm just wondering how tall your rosebushes get.

I'm in central Texas.
