Occitanie, France, May 12th, samedi plant. I can't get a clean picture, but I often think it looks like a smaller cousin of Alba Suaveolens on its left, due to their general silhouette, dense matte leaves and pickles. I grow no other bourbon for comparison. Still no blooming past Spring, And again, the vert first flower has this asymetrical/broken corolla shape.

Novembre 11th, 2024, Occitanie, France. I saw these flowers today, they are the very first Autumn blooms I witness on Rouge Marbrée. The same thing is happening on Alba Suaveolens so this may be exceptional.

Occitanie, France, May 16th. Planted 2 and a half years ago. It started slowly, but now it is very dense and covered with medium size blooms. Good scent, moderate to strong I would say. Always some small, strawberry like mate leaves in the beginning, then larger and more pointed. Also, the very first bloom(s) is always asymmetric. Pink rather than red. Paler outer petals. Marbled ? Some white borders/streaks.
