How fast would a new plant grow could I expect a vigorous show this year or have to wait for a few years.

Duely ticked off
but I have an ugly view point and an old Adler copse so size for once doesn't matter could I wish for about 2 metres this year 
When I planted a bare root Rambling Rector it didn't do much other than grow roots the first year. The second year it was over the roof of the coal shed; the third year we could hardly see the coal shed and was covered with blooms.
We moved away but I'm often very tempted to go back just to see what RR has done - it probably wasn't very wise to plant it in the small back garden of an inner city Victorian Terrace - I guess the back alleyway is impenetrable now
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
My brother in law had one that he planted to grow into a big tree (forgotten what sort of tree). In a few years it was sticking out of the top. Don't think he ever pruned it.
