I've got a fairly ugly NOID white single that also has a negative scent. I considered culling this fall. It was sent to me as a 'gift' for my first order with Direct Gardening but it's bloom was very loose and not at all fetching. And it sort of stinks if you take the time to cup a bloom and sniff.
But I talked myself into letting it get to at least year 3 (and probably year 5) before lowering the boom. I've come to recognize that young peonies aren't putting on the best show and I am hopeful that both the quality of the blooms and their quantity improve with time.
