There just more compact. They are hardy in zones 5-10, I think Victoria falls within that grouping. Good luck.

It is about 50 feet across and 20 feet high. It was very overgrown with ivy and wild clematis and ocean spray. It is in between steep and gentle. I have a vision of drift roses. What are negatives about drift roses? Do they need pruning back, do they suffer with pests? Are they very thorny? They will face SW and get lots of sun... I'm excited to get on with this. I have a bulldozer here soon to get some old roots out..then I realise I may have to terrace though the bank has existed for years without...where is the most economical place to get the roses from? I am in Victoria BC Canada. glad tofind this site. hazell I have just cleared my front bank. It is about 50 feet across and 20 feet high.
