Failed to thrive after three years. Put a couple long canes but did little flowering. Beautiful flowers, but only once per year for me. Absolutely shuts down in the heat here in central Texas. Late freezes may affect flowering as well. Culled in summer 2020. Too bad - The flowers I did get were really nice with great fragrance.
