The bush is not much too look at--too open and spindley and somewhat prone to powdery mildew but nothing that a spray of neem oil and baking soda can't take care of. But, oh, the blossoms--, their profusion, the satin pink with a silvery sheen, the fragrance luscious and strong, and the flowers bloom from early spring into November; by the time the last flower is spent, the next set of buds are ready to open. I grow it in a large pot. No regrets.
