Oh my, that’s huge! mine is teeny, and it is three years old. I’d love to see yours when it blooms. maybe it will inspire me to keep mine. it’s on the chopping block this year.

Will do. It's been lovely rose for me.

Wow, King!!!

Holy moly!!!! That’s crazy! The only DA I have that even comes close to that size is LoS. Yes, please post pictures in bloom:)

It's a Godzilla rose for you...HUGE!! :)

Wow, it certainly is happy! I can't wait to see it bloom!

Wow, that is huge! We need to see follow-up in bloom photos.

OurSteelers - you mean Lady of Shalott gets that big for you? Here LOS is one of those Austins that stays mannerly like Sharifa Asma or Tamora or Pretty Jessica. Rarely anything higher than 4 feet at the outside.

Cynthia

Not quite that big yet, Cynthia but it’s the closest DA for size comparison. The Lady is probably 6 x 8? Her canes are long so I put her right in between two obelisks and pull her wide. Initially she was my least favorite cause I didn’t like orange roses but now I find her coloring quite pretty and when she is in full bloom she is spectacular

Oursteelers - oooh...I would love to see a pic. :)

That is a truly impressive AM, Kingcobbtx7b!!

I'll join the others hoping you'll post pics of it in full bloom.

To think I once considered buying this one (I'll admit I was lured by the name alone)... Your pic makes me feel relieved that I didn't get it in the end, it's definitely not a rose for pots with that kind of size!

Here ya'll go

@kingcobbtx7b such a lovely tableau! What is the dark red to the right? Looking at these pictures I may have to move the Ancient Mariner off the wishlist for my current garden to the future one day maybe list 😄

Munstead wood is the red rose.

Heather - my eye went right to that red rose too!! Munstead Wood...mmmmm

Kingcobb - your roses are marvelous!!! What a lovely spot. :) :)

Beautiful! Your roses look very happy and healthy.
