Yes.
I grow Fortuniana (proper name Rosa x fortuniana) and it gets to be a very large plant this far north. I've seen it in South Carolina near Columbia where it was half way up a telephone pole growing in the strip of land between a sidewalk and the street.
The early spring flowers are great, fat multi-petaled blooms.

The question: do you have room for it?

I saw an amazing picture of fortuniana in the book 'Antique Roses for the south' by William Welch. I got it from the library but would love to own it. Anyway you are right, I don't have room, I'd have to keep it cut back. I could take cuttings and use it as rootstock.

Sounds like a good plan.

I've seen a Fortuniana in San Diego that is about 40' across, though I may be conservative in that estimate--it might be 60'. I think it would be even happier in FL.

Dr. Welch's books are a must for anyone who loves antique roses and old fashioned plants. My Fortuniana covers a small tree and looks great in the early spring.

Our Fortuniana came from an old cemetery.

It's maybe 7-8 years old, runs a good 30 ft or so. Massive thing.
Blooms at least a little all year, here in Coastal SoCal.
Love the thing.
It's got that violet scent, too. :-)
