Kiftsgate Rose

I think it may be time for a pair of new glasses..........I bought a supremely healthy Kiftsgate rose and whilst unloading it from the car, a dear old couple walked up the drive delivering election leaflets. The lady said how beautiful and strong it looked and she presumed I'd got a large tree to grow it up. I smiled sweetly at her and thought, 'poor thing, she's in her own world......' Taking said rose through to the back I looked I took the label off and read it quickly, and did a double take "eventual height 30ft x 35 ft" what the..........I'd read it as 3ft x 3.5ft; soooooooo can I do anything to keep it smaller as I don't have anything for it to climb that high, or do I take it back to the nursery and tell them I'm a complete numpty who needs new specs? (I do love the look of it by the way!!!)

Hearing you loud and clear MOS!!!!! I've bought a triffid! off to the nursery first thing tomorrow, then the opticians! Jude

Shame you're not closer Jude, I'd take it off your hands   Thinking of putting one along the side of a big cattle barn
