My original Creamsickle died down in the greenhouse winter of 2007-08. I thought I had lost her so I bought a replacement. My original Creamsickle resprouted last summer, "Y"ed early this spring and produced 2 flushes before getting girdled and losing most of her bark to grasshoppers. She finally died in August. In all the years I had her, she never had distorted blooms.

All 8 blooms of the replacement Creamsickle are distorted. The second skirt is stuck in some blooms and others are puckered or distorted. I'm wondering if this is truly Creamsickle. These are two of the 8 blooms distorted blooms.
