My Intrigue grows almost straight up. Long long stems with minimal leaves on the stems with blooms that blow pretty quickly on the very top of the stems. It does seem to usually bloom in clusters but it will occasionally send up a single bloom. For me it does get's BS very quickly in the spring then again in the fall.

Beth, I agree. My Intrigue does get BS in the Fall too. Not usually in Spring here. Luckily. And yours blow quickly? Mine tend to last a good while. Maybe because they get shade from late afternoon sun?

Your blooms look great! Love them both. I bought a cheapo Intrique (body bag) but it died. Your blooms look great! I also have Guy this year as a new one from Rau I believe. It's bloomed once and looks beautiful! Judy
