Anyone growing China Doll?

If so I would love to know how it grows - is it like a ground cover, growing to say, a height of about 40cms max and cascading down and outwards?

No Janine it growns to 40cm but only has short canes it is more like a round ball of a shrub. There is a climbing varity available which I grow on obelisks.

RE: Anyone growing China Doll?

I have 6 china doll roses growing. 4 are climbers, one a standard and one as a weeper.

China doll is slow to grow, but 3 of my climbers have grown vigorously, and are constantly in flower.

It grows very well on a rose arch and looks lovely.
Although one of my climbers hasn't grown at all, think that there maybe something wrong with the soil.

My weeper has be very slow, havn't had many canes to train to get it to weep. I think sometimes you can get a rose that doesn't want to grow. But it can also be it doesn't like where you put it.

The bush that is a standard has only grown 30cm in height from the graft.
