Purchased from Rose Petals 2012.

April 2013- My tiny band sized potted plant flushed this Spring with six flowers.
August 2013- No change in size. I've been pinching all of the buds to help it along, and it's still potted. Probably isn't good that the dog keeps knocking it over. :/

5/24/2014 - Planted in new garden.
4/9/2015- Plant is a little over 2x2, and blooms often. I'm unsure about this one.
9/22/2015- 2h x 4w. Foliage isn't pretty, but the fragrance of the blooms is wonderful.
1/5/2016- I blame some sort of voodoo, because I am now in love. Winter blooms are truly wonderful.
4/2016- 4 x 4. Officially one of my favorites.
4/2018- 5h x 4w
4/17/2020- This IS one of my favorites, but the bush is sort of a giant, ugly monster to be honest. It's a pest to prune because the main foundation canes are nearly two inches thick and grew at weird angles and I really should have kept a better eye on that from the beginning. Arg. I didn't though, and now when not in bloom it's kind of an eyesore. I'm all, can't you just get it together there? And it just says back, look lady you took the lazy route and this is what you get mmkay? Sigh. Anyway...

3/20/2021- Severe dieback from our February arctic blast. Plant has died almost all the way to the ground.
12/5/2021- Re-grew from the base a little, but died back down. I'm leaving the large base there just in case it's still alive.

8/6/2022- Large stump was accidentally cut to the ground by a mow/blow crew.
