Garden joys
Hi,
Translating copy about special people for museum gardens and such like in Germany and Switzerland.
Famous gardeners, they were in their lifetime, if you will. Most of them, however, are famed for other activities, not as much for their gardens.
DE:
Vor Peter Pans ehemaligem Wohnhaus in Z, das zum Museum gehört und in dem die Dauerausstellung „Umwege in Z. Peter Pan und sein erstes Haus“ zu sehen ist, ***blüht sehr üppig*** die Peter-Pan-Rose, eine Züchtung der Firma G aus dem Jahr 2006.
I understand that the word lush can be used to express the concept of this type of exuberant bloom in English.
What we have, however, reads:
EN:
In front of Peter Pan’s former residence in Z, which belongs to the museum, and where the permanent exhibition “Z Detours. Peter Pan and his First Residence” can be seen, the Peter Pan Rose - a variety of the company G dating from the year 2006 - ***is blossoming very abundantly***.
How can I improve on such translation?
Cheers,
Sebastian Witte

positively laden with blooms
There are lots of different ways this could be expressed a little smoother than the suggested rendering - here's a suggestion to get the ball rolling!

Discussion
You might need to add a few words explaining that Peter Pan is not the Peter Pan most of us have heard of!
Incidentally, "They flower abundantly" is the phrase used by the RHS (UK's gardening society) in their description of roses, although I'm not 100% keen on this! (https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/popular/roses)
