It sounds like everyone just purchased this last year. I fall into that same category, although I purchased it later in the season and haven't seen any blooms from it yet. I purchased it largely because of the patriotic name (I'm putting it near my 'Libery' apple tree), but also because it appears to have really good substance, it has shorter scapes (which I desire), and excellent bud and branch stats. I am hoping to hybridize with this and get some rich-colored seedlings with thick petals and lots of blooms. Hopefully, I will see some blooms and be able to come back and post some pictures of it this year.
