I just planted yesterday Betty Frances, Queen Dorothy, Pinkness, Hi
Ho Silver, Clarence, Rosalie Figge and Triple Whammy. I think I
should have ordered and planted these in August and am just
wondering if they will bloom next spring or next year at all. Betty
Frances is a rebloomer but not in Zone 5 but i picked it out for
the fragrance. Thanks for letting me know about what has been
either reblooming or blooming in the fall in your area. If you have
to divide the rebloomers when should it be done. Ordinarily I would
do it in July or early August. It must depend on how fast the
rebloomer is growing at any particular time. If they (it) have
little new leaves starting is that the time to do it?
