Hey, Dee,
The Charles Grimaldi is probably the most prolific bloomer I know. Of all the ones planted in my garden, all have periods of bloom and rest, but the CG keeps on blooming/ Non-stop.
To encourage mine to grow taller and with a stockier trunk I pruned mine severely. They responded by pushing out new growth almost immediately and all are covered once again with blooms. Here's a photo of what your CG can look like in about a year.
