My plant made 3 buds, which are good sized on a 14" plant but have barely opened for a month. They are definitely red with lots of petals but won't fully open. It may be because the plant was rooted from a cutting just this Feb. and its roots are immature being only 6 months old. Thanks to my garden trading pal, Nancy, for sharing cuttings of several double beauties she has in her yard.

I got cuttings from Nancy here in Kentwood Louisiana in Feb. 2018. It's June and 3 of them rooted and are healthy 7" plants. I hoped to find a picture here, but there's none. I will post one when these hopefully 'Red' double beauties bloom. They are part of my double syriacus collection that's reached 8 varieties plus 2 unusual single varieties.
