I owned this one for at least four years. It might be the prettiest color of the "Returns" that I have owned. I bought it to be the reblooming plant in its section of the garden. I never got it to rebloom, in pretty much an ideal location, but zone 5ish location. And I never got it to bloom for even three full weeks. In '21, it only bloomed 12 days for me. In '23 I added Stella's Sparky in that section. It was a reblooming machine, so I removed Romantic Returns last fall and replaced it with an EE deciding to try something else to improve the section.
By the way, Zoia, I had a similar experience with its kid, Dynamite Returns. It didn't bloom until its third year, and it was not even a middle of the pack performer for me.
