Name: Jacquie (JB) Berger Wrightstown, New Jersey (Zone 6b)
My red was in full bloom until Sept. and then boom.....mealy bugs all over it. It was like a jungle in the GH and I left them go because the three reds were still blooming profusely. What a disappointment when I saw the MB..I hate those little white critters. I cut all of mine back really hard. I just noticed all but one red is pushing new leaves. So far no MB. But who knows what will happen with the doors and window open during this warm spell.
