Default Mature size of these roses

Thanks to Allegra, I have a rose order coming this way soon. G I
decided I couldn't live without Darlow's Enigma another year so I
ordered from Ashdown. Of course, one can't order just one rose, so in
the same package will arrive Secret Garden Musk and Purple Buttons.

I also have some cuttings rooting that I will need to place. They are
Safrano, Gruss an Auchen, Marie Van Houte and Maman Cochet.

Now I have to decide where the new presents might fit in my limited
garden space. So I'm looking for advice.

Can anyone tell me how the new teas (Safrano, Marie Van Houte, and
Maman Cochet) compare in size to say Lady Hillingdon or Mrs. BR Cant?

What about Gruss an Auchen? Can it be compared in size to Belinda's
Dream, Summer Snow, or Angel Face? Upright like an HT or more bushy?

And last but certainly not least, Can I grow Darlows Enigma and
Secret Garden Musk as large free standing roses like I do with
Crepuscule and Mrs. Cant, or will they need support like my regular
climbers, Reve d'O and Sombreuil?

I've used examples of roses they I already grow to comapre with the
new ones. It seems that will be more accurate than just giving a
mature size since climate plays such a large part.
TIA
