Favorite reblooming gardenia?

I'm looking to add some medium sized gardenias, reliably hardy in charlotte and with a long bloom time or reblooming, and great fragrance. What are your favorites?

My favorite is 'August Moon' but I wouldn't call it medium sized.

Chuck Hayes blooms for about 3 weeks sometime in spring, or early summer. Then in fall you usually get a shorter bloom.

I have many August Beauty gardenia. I honestly don't remember when they bloom, usually sometime in August, towards the end. They can get tall, mine are about 4 feet, but you can cut them down. If you cut them down, cut them right after they bloom, they will set buds again shortly after they bloom for the following year. They are quite hardy, can take freezing temps for a couple days with little damage.
