Is this crepe a shrub form or a tree form? Is this fast growing or slow growing? Do yall have pics on the red rocket? How much water?
Red rocket crepemyrtle
I believe they are all large shrub/small tree plants that can be trained into a "standard" tree form or left to do their natural shrubby thing. Many will sucker when trained as a standard form, some more than others. My favorite form for Crepe Myrtle is "low-branch" or "multi-branch" because you have more limbs to create more flowers!

The more water the more flowers is the rule I have always heard...
I think that will depend on weather, soil and drainage. Here, they take regular landscape irrigation, but like to be planted a taddy high to keep the crown dry. They are listed as a "low water" plant, so I wouldn't water them a lot unless you have sandy soil that doesn't hold moisture!
