Memorial Day envy. Why is mine so ho-hum?

I have total Memorial Day envy. Everyone else's photo of Memorial Day is full of frilly petals and it is said to be a heat lover.

So why is mine so ho-hum? All spring and summer it was a thrip magnet. That I can deal with. As long as there's some fall blooms.

Obviously, I was looking forward to the first fall blooms. This morning they looked promising.

But before noon they already blew open.

Now they're totally gone. It's not even that hot so it can't be the heat. They don't even have many petals.

Does this rose begin to improve with age?

It's grafted and probably about 2-3 years old, but just under a year in my yard. I'm not sure what it's grafted on. Probably Huey.

Its been disappointing in my yard so far since I bought it especially for the heat resistance and fragrant petal packed blooms.

Advice?
