      Yes I have a dwarf one which I grew from seed many years ago.

      To be honest it's not in a good spot these days and looks poor but they are survivors.

          No its outside, they are fairly hardy and get by without protection here.

          I have the ordinary, non dwarf type on the allotment, I'm sure someone on here has the double flowered one.
