Height of 42" in the description is misleading. Someone in zone 5b reported it being over 8' tall. I'm going to change my rose order since Teasing Georgia is too tall.

Sharifa Asma and Tamora stay relatively short and You might prune them as HT's.
S.A. has a very delicate but strong fragrance.

Yes, plant habit and size in the rose registration for a plant bred in England often is understated for the rose grown in the United States.
I have added the MR 12 REFERENCE from the ARS website and the description states that the rose growth is 3.5' or 42". That's in England .. lol.

I just got this rose in late June as a bare root plant. I have been VERY pleased. I stuck in in the ground and neglected it. It is becoming a lovely rounded shrub, and was loaded with beautiful recurring clusters of blossoms. Best of all--no sign of disease near Tacoma, Washington with no spraying at all!

After a year in the ground, I spent most of the day today trimming out stem canker on my Teasing Georgia. I have 2 plants in different locations, and both were affected. A long, cold, wet spring might have been part of the problem, or I might have just gotten diseased plants, but these were the only roses in my yard that were affected. Several of the canes had started to break under their own weight, possibly creating an infection site. I love really the blooms on this rose, but if the disease recurs, I'll probably replace them with something else.

The roses grew pretty well after trimming off the canes and treating with copper fungicide, but they started breaking off again. I've cut them waaaaay back to see if that helps. Now to find out if they'll get disease again this spring....

This plant has grown on me. It is one of my favourite Austins. The bloom display is exceptional during the first flush.
This is a very disease free, fragrant rose for Toronto in my no spray garden.
Repeat is not as satisfactory as I would like but I will let the plant settle for a few years and evaluate again.
It has only been 2 years since I had this rose, yet it is already a 4X5 shrub with 50 + buds waiting to bloom. I expect long canes to appear later in the summer as had last year that would be tied up to form a low pillar. TG is extremely hardy. Stem tip dieback only in the crazy winter of 2007-08 in my z6 garden with only burlap as protection.

I've just seen Teasing Georgia and wonder if anyone has any experiece with it growing as a pillar rose. It is said to be disease resistant. Any comments on this also?

I can response to the disease resistance only, having 3 plants for 3 years now. Yes, it is very resistent and can be recommended.

I have had Teasing Georgia for six years. Bought as a shrub, she is now a twelve foot climber on a semi-shady wall, and is very prolific with her gorgeous flowers. However, as far as disease resistance goes, blackspot is a big problem, and appears every year. We live in South Cumbria, England, and our rainfall is high, our winters cool, and summers humid. I would put her disease resistance at about 7/10.
