This rose doesn't get out of bounds at all, blooms so much, and it even sets tiny bright red hips that my wildlife loves. The hips are small, so you'd only notice them if close, but it would be a great rose to site close-up because of its cheery color, etc. It's extremely healthy with no help, here. I have mine in shade (viewed far away), because I needed color there. It's perfect for that, too! It's magenta-red for me, a nice, bright color. "Happy' is a truer red here, but this rose is much healthier.
