I just wonder about Becky losing her ROTKBus. I checked the data base and I see that it is a semi-evergreen and probably should have been okay for her area. However, I have three Davissons--semi evergreens that should do here--and they don't. Check the stats on them and they are very impressive, but I have never seen anything here that comes close and this is after four years. I can only wonder if our zone is too hot for them. Probably never know for sure, but these will be the only Davissons in our garden. I forgot to mention that she sent Part Time Princess as a bonus, just beautiful for a couple of years and dead after that. This is not an indictment of her plants, for I think they are wonderful when I see the pictures of them in other people's gardens, but for whatever reason, the ones we have do not thrive here in our garden.
I rarely really count buds, but I will name one. Black Fathom Depths did great here this year, and a bud count of 26-30 probably did happen this year. If I can remember more, I will post them.
