    Medium to Tall rosebushes are actually dependent upon the climate of the area planted. In warmer climates roses will grow to the tall end of their range of heights, whereas in cold climates they will typically stick more towards the medium height of the range. However hybrid teas like Mr. Lincoln will be tall just about anywhere. Tropicana always gets 3 feet tall here in my Colorado USA rose beds and a bit taller by seasons end. Bewitched is a bit taller typically but dependent on it planting location she can scale back to the 3 feet with a bit more height by seasons end. Typically I plant the taller rose bushes (hybrid teas) towards the back of the rose beds, some grandifloras as well. While the floribundas go up front. I have had some floribundas get tall on me that needed to be moved to the edges or back further, such as Tuscan Sun.

    Dipping in wax only lasts about six months and can be tricky I've read. I would think the silica gel is preferable alone. You can always present it in a glass case or shadow box to further preserve it. It's also possible to professionally freeze dry bouquets or preserve them in resin by a professional.

    I will take a few more photo's tomorrow.

    I followed the link and yes some of the leaves do kind of look like what it showed. When this first happened a year or 2 ago, aside from the leaves on the bush, it was also only found in the center of the rose, not as you see in the photo above.

    It IS really weird looking, almost like it's taken on an alien life form appearance LOL

    It is impossible to tell with certainty from one picture but it may be rose rosette disease. Here is a link to information on this serious rose disease. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/roses/rose-rosette-disease.htm

    Having just pruned them, they should be okay. However covering them would give an extra degree of protection.

    In my area, I am an early Spring pruner. I do prune them back a bit in winter so as to help protect the long canes from being whipped badly by the strong winter winds. However my true pruning for the coming growing and blooming season is done in early Spring which in my area is later April to early May.

    Thank you for sending the photos of the rose you seek. However they are not really enough to fully identify it. It may indeed be a David Austin English Rose. Or it may be one of the wonderful old roses similar to one named Therese Bugnet. I am going to provide you two links to help in your search. The first is https://www.helpmefind.com/roses/ where you may search for a rose by color, bloom form, etc.. The other is a link to a roses for sale site of a dear friend whom might be able to help you find exactly the rose you seek. His name is Matt and let him know that Stan the Rose Man sent you his way. Here is the link to his website: https://www.highcountryroses.com/ . Best wishes to you and may you find the fragrant beauty you seek. :-)

    If those branches were coming from the top part of the rose tree, that is one happy grafted rose! If the branches are coming from anyplace below the rose graft with the trunk, they need to be removed ASAP! The bottom part of the tree has decided to grow on its own and will sap nutrients and strength from the top desired part of the creation. Soon leading to the death of the top rose part. The lower branches will likely try to grow back, just keep pruning them back as far as you can. If it is the upper ones, I just prune them back to maintain a nice shape.
