I purchased a Bonica from our local Home Depot in 2006. She was initially healthy but did develop BS in my garden, so she needed spraying to stay clean. Blooms were pretty but not prolific--however, she was still new. She did manage to throw out one 5' basal while the rest of the bush maintained an 18" height--weird. She was removed from my garden this year during a change of color scheme--hopefully she's blooming well for her new owner. Not sure what to think about this one.
