Like Black Magic Woman Early to Mid season
Sharp Dressed Man that starts blooming Mid Season and goes for a long time.
That way I get to see them for a very long season.

I guess any slight improvement (earlier, or later, or more buds, or better branching, or fragrance, or better disease resistance, or more ruffling, or wider edges, or better color, or or or) would be the reason for look-alikes.
