    Moderators:
    I see the listing states this is a late season bloomer, and imagine that's how it was registered, but I would encourage you to edit that description since in my garden this hybrid was/ is blooming very, very early as it is almost out of season! Thrill Ride, Sutton's hybrid is also in bloom, so it's not a solo aberration, but apparently this rebloomer is very capable of being an early bloomer (this is also not the only instance it's been right up there as one of the first blooming Tb's. Perhaps the fact it reblooms in certain gardens in the fall caused confusion?).
