I've had two of these for about five years, they are now about 5 ft. tall and wide. They are the most low maintance roses I have. They seem to thrive on my neglect and are one of my very favorites. Robin Hood blooms from late spring till frost. I ferlitize once in the spring then that's it. No spraying needed and only prune to shape the bush.

Here's a pic of the whole bush:
