I have white, pink and red. My white always blooms first. It is loaded with buds, but I don't see any on the pink or red one yet. Our winter was so mild last year, I never even brought them in, just put them in the corner of the patio and covered them with a frost blanket on the few nights it got into the thirties. I think the darkness plays a bigger part than colder temperatures for setting buds, because our nights are still pretty warm.
