Yes, Jude takes a long time to really reached its potential. I've grow Jude for 13 years almost, and he can grow very large here (8-9f feet tall). Strangely, I'm not wild about the scent, but the blooms are quite unique and beautiful, as is their color. The rebloom could be better as well as the vase life (for me). I don't know if you have thrips, but Jude is never bothered by them. Diane

@dianela7analabama - do you have your PAOK in a pot or in the ground? I use a slow release rose fertiliser with a heavy mulch on top in spring. I then give it periodic liquid feeds throughout the season. I also put a bark mulch around the base (in addition to the organic mulch). This was my first flush of PAOK: Here is the second flush. Blooms not as large but lots more of them: Still strong, healthy foliage. I did move it onto the patio for more sun. Third flush was not good at all and it had terrible black spot after frequent rainfall at the end of the season. Do your neighbours find similar issues? If not, it might be a soil/nutrient issue. @Diane Brakefield - found some more photos of close up single blooms: Jude the Obscure then?
