I concur with everything that Sterling has written. In my garden this year
CONJURATION put up six stalks from 50 to 57 inches tall bearing up to 5
well-spaced branches plus terminal and spurs and as many as 17 buds. It
required no staking. Admittedly, wind is not usually a problem here, but
the leaners (such as VICTORIA FALLS) still lean, and the only cultivar that
had taller stalks than CONJURATION this year (TRIPLE WHAMMY) finished up
with stalks about 45 degrees out of vertical. The only fault I can find
with it is that only about 3 or 4 of the blossoms showed any sign of horns.
BTW, did CONJURATION also win the Wister Medal, for which it was eligible,
too?
