October Affair / George Adams

  October Affair looks a lot like Desire.  Except that, the flowers are smaller and the petals are more pointed.
      It is another Japonica that is supposed to bloom both Fall and Spring.   Again in the fall it blooms too late, .......so I gibbed it.   Last spring it did bloom, but the flowers were much more pink in color overall.  It is supposed to look as it does now, light pink with a blush pink edge.  It is listed as hardy to zone 7b.  I took a chance and tried it out, and so far it is doing very well
