Thanks so much for posting a "full bush" shot! Helps so much to see the plant as well as individual blooms!

Sure! Just keep in mind, some bushes will look different than others of the same cultivar because:

1) Some are pruned more heavily during the winter

2) Some have winter die back and only get so big

3) Some are babies and haven't matured yet

4) Some get more or less sun depending on the state and the position of the plant

This particular picture is of a mature plant at least 10 years old, which is in full sun and has minimal winter die back, and minimal winter pruning. So it might possibly be bigger than other plants of the same cultivar. But I like to think of it as what the plant 'could be' given all the best circumstances.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the info--I realize growing conditions, climate and care make a huge difference, but it is still nice to have some idea of a plant's potential, as you said.

Regards!
