I've heard that "Mermaid" has been known to eat
houses, but have no experience with it myself.

If you mean a single rose bush, as opposed to a
variety of rose, I think there's one in Arizona that
covers an acre or so.

If you're looking for a large rose bush for some
specific use, that's a different matter. Many
climbers can get very large.

I think I've actually seen that sucker, way back
when I lived in AZ - early '70s. I wasn't into roses
then so it was a "curiosity"; now I'd be much
more focussed on details.
