In my hot/warm inland region of Los Angeles (Encino) my three recently planted own root (from Vintage Gardens) MAdRs have absolutely exploded with growth, while also throwing flush after flush of blooms. They were planted two months ago as typical (short) 1 gal sized plants, but in a short time have thrown very numerous 4-5 ft canes that are still headed skywards, and those are breaking laterals.

So while this may be "compact" elsewhere, in sunny So Cal, these (I can see) are going to be large. How large? I can't even begin to guess. I've just never seen a rose grow as rapidly as this one.

Extremely happy and healthy here.
