I have a collected wild rose. It is a bonsai, as this one is.
Growth on roses is difficult to control. They tend to send up growth in canes. However, they do develop branching if they are pruned repeatedly over the years. Leaves reduce very well on some varieties. Mine has 1/2" leaves and smaller. It is an invasive variety that has small leaves to begin with. It's flowers aren't nearly as spectacular as this one though.
They also drop branches quite easily in favor of new canes. I prune mine when new growth turns to wood.
