oh yeah much longer. That was supposed to be a double and orange. It was not fully open yet. They have such a fantastic fragrance especially at night, when it seems stronger. I don't know what the problem is with this one throwing its blooms before they open completely. So sad about it.
Be careful getting brugs. They are highly addictive. I started out ordering one. Just to see. That was 4years and 31 brugs ago. They are not hardy here, I think zone 9 is the northern limit, so they have to be brought inside every fall and taken out every spring. That is why I don't put them in the ground. Digging 33 holes in spring and then 4 -5 months later digging them all up again makes me tired just thinking about it.
Their worth growing if you've the room to winter them over. They are definitely worth it when you get that first bit of fragrance.
I hope she'll make buds for me again by October. And actually let the blooms complete themselves. At least I am hoping.
