Linda, I've added you to my Susanne list, along with Blaine. I doubt if I'll have any more cuttings than that because poor Susanne was defoliated when her first flush bloomed - but, I will tell you that she is a trooper and her blooms have the nicest staying power of any brug I have and, considering that chemicals blew her tops off, I'm MOST impressed!! Also, she stressed, lost all her leaves when she arrived, and was still the first to flush. BTW, the US Post Office is why Maya and Susanne stressed, they were ridden around in a truck for an extra day during unusually (((HOT/HUMID)). So, here is a photo of her now, she's leafing nicely and, if I can ever get a cutting for myself, I'll put her in the ground. Last year, my first freeze was Dec 15, so surely she'll produce before then...
