Zuzu, I'm not glad I'm old (I ache too much) but I am glad I'm retired and don't have anywhere to go or anywhere I HAVE to be most days. Groceries and a couple of Dr. appts. are my big dates these days, lol!
I have Hot Romance too and just love it! It isn't a fast repeater but the blooms are always worth the wait. I've found its growth habit is more sideways than up. It's only about 2 feet tall but a good 4 feet wide. Maybe because I'm in a cooler zone but mine has deeper colors than yours.
Hi MBN, and Congrats on passing the CR test!
