Anyone else noticed that theirs is doing particularly well this year? I've
never seen ours so well covered in flowers and it's put on a lot of new
growth, too. I'm wondering if it's the very severe cutting back it got last
year for the seriously cold spell we had. Perhaps it responds best to
brutal treatment!
I've no idea which it is as it was planted long ago but it's a deep coral
colour.

Mine are floweing their socks off this year, I had not noticed how much
the flowering has been reducing these last few mild year, likewise the
Ribes and Forsythia, seems the cold was not all bad
