Received Rhinestone Kid in a trade in 2016 and it has not disappointed! It is easily over 20 fans and even though I didn't count the number of scapes, there were many this year and most easily had 3 way branching with 15-20 buds. I have not had rust on it.

The scapes only gets about 16-20 inches tall and the blooms are 3", so it is not a mini, but the plant as a whole is a cute, front of the border plant. ( Vitamin C is on the left. It was divided, so it is only about 36" here. King of Swing is on the right and it gets about 26" tall.)

There were several bouquets like this this year. I received this plant from a former club member who just recently passed away and will always think of her when I see this one in bloom. Smiling
