Mine has been pressed on one side by a blue spruce (that was supposed to be a dwarf shrub). Sarah sent some of her canes up through the branches reaching 9 or 10 feet tall. Prune back in late winter by 1/3. Or if you want more height,let some canes get taller and prune some fairly low to give lower blooms and foliage cover to her tall bare legs. She has thrived in our Zone 5 winters,open to bitter west winds, with no protection; in amended heavy clay. The site was once full sun, now part sun. She is still happy. Blooms get ravaged by japanese beetles in midsummer, but foliage is untouched. Gluing tips after pruning prevents borers. No other pests. Disease free.
A wonderful rose.
