Your comments on 'Admiral's Braid' sort of reminds me of 'Victorian Lace' in my garden, and "strange" is a good word in describing some of these plants. 'Victorian Lace' has upright spikey foliage that finally falls over at the top, a reputation for rust and it is susceptible here (as is a child plant, 'Because of You') - yet I have had far worse rust buckets and at the moment I think it is free of spores...
