Circus was new in my garden in 2006 and at first, it was stingy with blooms and a definite water hog (it needed a daily drink or it would sulk). However, this year it has really come in to its own, blooming almost continually with no sulking. She is BS prone in my garden, but she has responded favorably to organic spraying so far. During the recent culling of the roses in my garden, I just didn't have the heart to remove her, she's such a blooming machine! And such fantastically colored blooms! She does have a tendency to form vegetative centers this year, but not in all blooms. Growth is also uneven, with one large basal taller than the rest of the plant.
