Answer 1

They come in vase shaped, rounded, upright, arching, and mounding. The one pictured is likely a vase shaped or upright variety of medium height, so you can ask at the local nursery for those. Some examples are: "Commanche with coral pink blooms, 'Dynamite' with red blooms, 'Near East' with pink blooms and a vase shape, and 'Pink Velour', which is upright to vase shaped.

The pruning has a lot to do with it, too.
