2011 is my first season with this one. I love the color overall. I have noticed that it loses the colored edge in high heat. There is excellent repeat bloom and it seems to be continuously in bloom. Best of all the leaves are disease free in my garden...not a spot to be seen. For the breeders this one will set hips both OP and from foreign pollen. It seems to be a good plant to use as a pollen donor as well. Update: The plant was disease free until September when black spot showed up. It was clean all summer and I can live with disease resistant until the end of the season.
