Violette Parfumee (Melody Perfume) has low petal count in hot temps and fragrance is also moderate. Shade is light purple / violet. In spring bloom had darker shade, more petals and very strong fragrance.


I lost my Westerland bush last year. It was a brilliant performer in high heat. I was lucky to save a cutting and that cutting is now a small bush. Bloom size is till small but it will improve by end of this year I am hopeful. A wonderful performer in hot climate. The other day I saw Sharlene's outstanding Westerland bush and hope my bush also grows like that.....


William Morris is another good performer. Bloom size gets small and fragrance is less but it keeps blooming if given partial shade.


Winchester Cathedral bush is doing great but there are fewer blooms. Fragrance is mild, smells like crushed almonds.
