Anya, I have same thing happened with my Salmon Dream, The flower was a huge very intense pink color with a shape like a saucer. I may dis budded it except one, so it could be a cause. 5 years later I do not have such color intensity or size. On another hand my Etched Salmons are outstanding even after multiple divisions during those 5 years. They were way smaller 1st year. It could be weather and climate for different cultivars that makes the difference.
I made Salmon Dream multiple divisions last year and planting them under different sun/shade conditions. See if there will be a difference.
