Basically a trouble free plant.Grows very well on own roots. No disease problems.Extremely vigorous. Highly recommended for the South. Available from Roses Unlimited.

Agree. I took cuttings in 2000 from the old school site in Yornup, Western Australia, of an old rose which turned out to be ‘Sunny South’. The school was relocated to Bridgetown in 1996 in anticipation of the construction of a heritage precinct which never eventuated. Ironically, the heritage rose still stands resolute in the empty school grounds, never fed, never watered, but still smiling and flowering at passing cars.

How tall would you say the old Yornup 'Sunny South' is Patricia?

Uuum... I haven't passed by there in a long time, but I would say 8 or 9 feet high.
Here is my ten year old clone of it, on its own roots. Mine is 8 feet - about (snake tracks in the dust nearby!)
