Interesting. I bought my Mom a Gertrude Jekyll about a decade ago
and for the first few years it was rudely healthy and bloomed heavily.
Eventually she killed it by transplanting it. That was zone 5a, in
Illinois.
Other people have made similar claims of GJ being bulletproof.

I wonder how it would do here in 8b in Florida. I'll try for an own-root.

Mark.
