A favourite Austin rose, the shrub is very tall and upright, actually growing taller than a nearby archway. Its a beautiful shrub if you have the room. Mine has a spread of about 2 metres. I only prune this one about every 3 years, just taking out any dead wood and giving it a general tidy up. I have found that some of the larger Austins tend to reach for the sky if you hard prune them so it pays to be gentle with them. For those not familiar with Heritage, the flower is a delicate blush pink.
