bump

I only has Ambridge. I like it, but not in my favorite list. The spring flush is fabulous, but the repeat is not so good. Maybe I did something wrong? The color at first is so pretty that makes my heart melt, but it fades quickly to cream and then white. Petals don't drop nicely, so you will have to deadhead often, otherwise the greyish while old flowers look so ugly.

Thanks KJ

Both of mine are about 16 yrs. old and in close proximity to each other in all day sun. Ambridge has a peachy, cupped bloom form with round buds on a short upright bush and smells divine. Wildeve is a relaxed bush and the soft pink blooms are also relaxed, beautiful pointed buds and no scent.

These photos are old. The season is barely underway here, so no pics yet this year.

Wildeve

I enjoy them both. Wildeve repeats better. While this isn't SoCal, we do get very hot, dry summers, and both stand up well to the heat.
