Mine is barely 2" above ground now, LG, and yours is ready to pop open! Has your Blonde Vision increased quickly? I was wondering if it would get bigger faster in a warmer climate. Mine is slowly, very slowly, getting bigger but I certainly have to baby it along. The blooms make it worthwhile, though.
Thanks for the foliage pics, Annette. I knew all of the other coral semi-doubles were wrong and the plant wasn't Lovely Rose! I'll compare the pic to the foliage that's out now, from memory it seems pretty similar. Hopefully I can get out there before it starts snowing tomorrow, otherwise I'll have to wait several days...
Your picture of the bloom yesterday was pretty much a perfect duplicate of my blooms. Have you noticed that it has adventitious roots? The one I'm trying to ID certainly does, grows back from some seriously small pieces of root.
