How big does Dortmund get?

If you just let it go, it will get about 12 feet tall and 8 feet wide.

It does have a bad tendency to send out canes at odd angles, and the
canes are very stiff and inflexible, so it is difficult to train. One
more negative is that it is very fertile. Every bloom becomes a hip,
so it must be religiously deadheaded in order to bloom well.

Good luck,
