Hi, mine was blooming until we had several nights of freezing weather lately. The plant has not received any freeze damage as of yet even though it was below freezing for quite some time on several nights and the bloom buds still look fine. Thank you again for informing me of this plant's name and thanks for posting my plant's sister's/brother's bloom. :o)

It is a truly beautiful old cultivar isn't it? I have two growing in my garden and have taken pics of both today.Here is one from the other bush

It sure is. The blooms always draw me nearer for a closeup look.
