It seems from all the comments above that Madge Cayse is consistent everywhere. Here in Oklahoma it withstood our blast furnace summers and bloomed late in the season. It had no rust the one year I had rust, so perhaps it has better resistance then many. The blooms were a soft cantaloupe color and always double. It was on the short side and did well in a container. It wasn't an overly vigorous grower, but if you choose to grow in containers as I do, that's not a bad thing. I lost it during that dreadful below zero winter (remember it was in a small pot) and have missed it......Maryl
