I cannot grow Tropicana or Jadis or Diamond Jubilee, not 40 years ago, not 2 years ago, not in Ohio not in Chico, CA. I also cannot grow tulips, african violets, lily of the valley yet I had a key lime seedling bloom and fruit for me and Bronze Masterpiece and I seem to have that same, bizarrely sucessful relationship. The blooms are for sure a weird mix of star shape/ruffled and the centers do get a little confused.........there is nothing "bronze" about it it is more "apricot" but name is marketing.............my plant (budded) is strong, healthy, just produced single blooms on long stems.............very healthy in a year where Showbiz and Sunsprite have mildew and blackspot.............

Chris, what happened to your plant? I don't see you listed as growing it now. Mine is still young and I'm hoping for a good bloom this year. Last year was so hot I didn't see it happen.

I think I may have told you that late last fall I cleaned a little house? Dianne---Bronze Masterpiece didn't survive that session. I know mosaic is a nuisance thing but it was inundated with it. And I realized I never saw anything I would ever call "an attractive bloom" from it. It was nailed to the cross to provide a larger pot for the Quicksilver maiden.....and I am not sorry, either. It is really sort of a dog here in Columbus and pull out those old ARS annuals and read the reviews when it was new.....always a let down......

Mine has been slow so far, own root. This is the third season, so I'm hoping for something better. Thanks for sharing your experience. That will help me decide how patient I want to be with this.

What happened to your Bronze Masterpiece, Dianne?

My Bronze Masterpiece was weak, and didn't make it. I'm not sure if my garden helper missed it and dug it up because it was so small (he did that with a few). :-(
