So the little beauty bloomed yesterday, and I was most anxious to test its fragrance. I know that sometimes a person's mind can play tricks with them, but I swear the blooms smell like cinnamon. My husband took a whiff & said the same thing. Has anyone else noticed that Hot Cocoa's blooms carry a hint of cinnamon? It can't just be the color of the bloom playing monkey business with my brain, I hope.

To me it smells more like a sweet fruit. I detected no cinnamon, but my bush isn't very old (been in the ground 5 weeks) so that may change.

I noticed cinnamon too--has a marvelous light scent of cinnamon/freesia. Right now in my garden it's an eye-catching brick-red-orange. As a landscape designer I feel the plant has an ideal shape for a small gardens--tall enough to be majestic but a narrower-than-tall v-shape. Very bushy, attractive foliage. Thorny though!!!!!

You aren't kidding about the thorns! I had to get rid of mine because of them!
