Santa Rosa vs Weeping Santa Rosa

I have both of these plums supposedly, but my WSR is not weeping. Maybe it just isn't big enough to start weeping? In fact it is growing too upright now. The tree is definitely closely related to SR. The plums are slightly more round and slightly more perfumed (better) tasting and slightly less bitter. So, whatever SR variant I have it is fantastic. Does anyone else have a weeping Santa Rosa that is not weeping?
Both SR and WSR are producing great plums now. Every year I appreciate plums more and more, they get less pest pressure and are easier to grow than peaches, cherries, and apples, plus I find it much easier to get huge production off of my plums. SR often produces poorly so is often an exception to that, but this year it is loaded.
