I waited awhile to see if anyone in your region was going to post their experience. Nothing yet, so I'll chime in. My Vick's Caprice (mine actually sported back to Archiduchesse Elisabeth d'Autriche) is not a huge plant after a couple of years. Compared to the teas, chinas, & other hybrid perpetuals I've grown, this one is moderately sized. It does not show any indication of wanting to be huge here. A very nice, mannerly rose whose canes like to arch somewhat.

Thanks, Randy. It may be that no one in my immediate area is growing it. Your experience confirms the Vintage description, so I'll assume that ti will end up as a moderate sized plant.

I'm hoping mine stays Vick's Caprice because I'm fond of stripes, but I understand that the Archiduchesse is a nice rose, too.

Rosefolly, yes, AEdA is a nice rose, if yours should ever revert. But I understand what you mean about those incredible, subtle stripes on Vick's Caprice. Oh, and this rose has excellent fragrance to my nose.
