This is one of my favorite in my garden of ~60 different types of roses. Low maintenance, good disease resistance (I have terrible BS where I live), and multiple flushes of dozens of blooms through the summer. The only real drawback is that the blooms only last a couple of days.

I planted my burlesque plants last Fall 2021, just before frost. So this Spring and Summer is really its first debut. The flowers have stripes, which I am not quite thrilled; I was thinking of the deep purple or deep fuchsia on Heirloom picture. (Oh yeah, I got the Burlesque own root from Heirloom). But I do love its fragrant; granted that I have to put my nose to the flower to smell its fragrance. I thought the fragrance it very distinct. I love it a lot.

I bought two plants.

My question is, while it is too young, and one plant is already more than 4 ft tall; this other one was about right (about 1 feet tall) . I am not really sure what it is.... I don't have room for climber. Does anyone experience that burlesque this tall, or must be pegged to the ground? Do I need to prune it? When should I prune it?

BTW I looked at the lineage of the plant it is seedling of Fourth of July (climber) x Diamond Eyes. I wonder if one of the plant has DNA variant of the climber parent Fourth of July. The other does not (which is about right for the description of 4 x 4 ft for height and width). This would be fun!

Thank you.
