    This Pernetiana rose has been the star of three of my gardens for the last 40 years. It's the only one I dig up and take with me when I move to a new home.

    The colors -- copper, orange, yellow, and pink -- are reminiscent of luscious fruit, and the fragrance is also fruity.

    It's listed as ranging from 24 to 32 inches in height on helpmefind.com, but that must apply to the own-root version. I struggle to keep mine down to 6 feet tall. If I were to let it grow as tall as it wants, I'd have to climb a ladder to see the blooms at the top.
