5' probably stretching it a bit.  In my garden, 4 to 4.5 feet seems
about right.  If you can live with a slightly shorter plant, then I
think you'd like the look.  They don't look anything at like hybrid
teas.  One caution, they tend to spread by means of suckers or
runners.  You might find this annoying after a time.
