Thanks, Betty. I figured that might be the difference between the two cuttings. Although it does look like Monster has some vegetative growth down low as well as all the flowering growth up top.

Phyllis, my brugs are all new this spring, two from cuttings, and one was a gift plant from my kids for Mother's Day. I have one other, an old noid pink one that has been a huge 8ft. X 8ft. shrub, but was killed back almost to the ground two winters ago, and set back again somewhat last winter. I was ready to roust it out and replace it with one of the new ones this spring when it sprouted a couple of nice new shoots and started blooming it's head off. Ya just never know, huh?

Here's a picture of 'Cherub' taken this evening. The wall behind it is 6ft tall. You can see that it has space to become a shrub next year if it will only branch . . .
