Planted a Wine and Roses with huge success. Planted about 6 more with various success 2 years later. Suspect soil responsible for variation in plant growth but all producing well. Tried 3 off these for in front of the front porch. Had to mail order as couldn't locate them locally any morr. Came with no dirt, common shipping method. All looked to die off over winter. One did. The other two took months to come back. Looks good now. Will have to see what happens spring next year before I replace the dead one.

I love this plant! I"m sorry to hear some of the others have had problems with theirs, but as for me, I love it! Bloomed right away and has performed wonderfully for the last three years. I highly recommend this to everyone

Beautiful plant, BUT, as stated by a Pennsylvania reviewer, South Carolina deer also can’t read the label . I believe the plant should not be listed a “deer resistant “ as it was partially eaten after 4 days in the ground. I guess the definition of resistant is loosely attached to this plant. If deer are eating your flowers and shrubs, I would not try this plant.

I had high hopes for this shrub. I had this specific variety picked out and searched several nurseries for it. It has been marginal at best. The flowers have not attracted any attention and two of the three shrubs struggle to fill out fully with their foliage. This year they are coming out of my landscape. I am mad, just not what I had hoped for.

My 2 plants are in the correct location, properly taken care of, but - apparently our deer have not read that this plant is "deer resistant". In the three years I have had them, I have yet to see a single blossom on them. Everything is chewed off. I really wanted some color in front of my green shrubs. Oh well.....
