Had a different problem with one very promising seedling,
Flowered for the first time in winter (Yeah a rebloomer) as a very pretty
creams stds, falls cream with rose plicata. The following spring the bloom
was similar in quality but the plicata pattern was on both the falls and
stds and not such a pretty colour - Rats!!
But if seedlings take a while to reach full bud number what can I expect
next year from a seedling that flowered for the first time with 14 buds on
the stem, and very pretty also
Also do seedlings usually improve or deteriorate between years 1 and 3

South Aust where it's a very nice mid20sC today after more than a week of
mid 30's. Its very hard to keep the place cool when it's 28C at 6am as it
was yesterday. Don't have aircond as the house works on passive solar
design except when we get more the 5 vary hot days and no night time
cooldown
