Here's some input from someone who grows 'Jayne Austin' in Texas: The height listed for Jayne Austin is accurate for those areas which have short growing seasons. In climates such as San Antonio, Texas (where I live), it can get five to seven feet tall. The shape of the bush, which in my garden was tall and arching, nonetheless allowed it to fit into a space for which it might otherwise have been too small. It is also reasonably winter hardy, and the fragrance is wonderful.
