A wonderful cultivar, very fragrant and with delightfully coloured flowers. It bloomed all the summer long with some short pauses in my area, which corresponds to Hardiness 7b-8a. I took some shoots in September, which rooted readily, in order to have them again this year. They're at present struggling against some disease though, possibly some fungus. I hope I may send some pics of them soon.
