And to think, you grew/grow this beauty in the house!?! That is amazing in itself. Another Question; first bloom seedling?

Thank you. This is not its first bloom. It blooms 1-2 times per year and has been doing so for the past 10-12 years. Normally, I would not have such a large plant, but it has been with me so long and it performs so well that I make an exception.

1-2 times per year??? All of my roths need 2 year for a new growth to reach FS size . Do you keep it on steroids????

A blooming roth is a good roth imho.

Well grown and nice flowers!

I'm a roth fanatic and if you were in Europe, I would like a division of this plant.:drool:

Not at all. It's getting to the point that it's so large that it clumps and has several growths at various stages of development. I would say that it takes about 1.5 -2 years to mature a growth. As of now there are 11 growths (2 very old and 4 very new, one in bloom, and 4 between 1-2 years old).

has anyone (in the US) claimed a future division? if not sign me up!

Wow! I hope when my plants are that age that they will look this good! You are a terrific grower! And the flowers are lovely, whether or not they look like the wide-dorsal- beefy flowers in much of the contemporary breeding! I'd be happy to own it!
