How tall does your Duchesse de Brabant grow?

last year

DH is complaining that he pruned it a couple of months ago. Now it shot up taller than him, (he is 6'1"). It has always been a big bush. Just as wide as tall. It is around 20+ years old and loaded with cup like flowers. Not much fragrance though. Maybe not a Duchess?

Wow! I have a very SMALL DdB -- bought it as a small plant in a teeny, 4" pot! So mine is only now about knee height. I was not expecting a huge bush, but where it is that wouldn't be a problem. Mine is fragrant, but not intensely fragrant. Do you have photos of the bush and the flowers?

One thing I like about it is it keeps blooming when all the other rose bushes have stopped.
