Purchased in 2009, Wedding Band has done just 'okay' in my garden. I like the creamy white petals, but wish the bud count was better. Usually blooms late June to early July for about 2 weeks.
The scapes hold up the blooms pretty well and the blooms are nice and tall above the foliage. Probably 2-3 way branching and around 8-10 buds. Not very good in today's books.
This picture from July 10, 2011, shows the foliage looking pretty healthy and I don't recall ever seeing rust on it. Guess living in a zone (6b) where the rust gets killed has its benefits. The bloom at the very far left is H. Jean Swann trying to double, and the coloring in this pic makes it look very similar to WB.
Here's a picture I really like from July 6, 2014. Showing off that yellow edge and a blush of pink.
