One of my Sarah Bernhardt buds was dying, I had to pinch it off, it's black, I was wondering why it oozed out sticky sap a few weeks ago, now I know. It's not good to come out too early, even we have no hard frost here. Luckily my bud from Coral Charm is still green.
Lavender Hill, this one looks promising
Shima Nishiki, this one is from Alderman's, it has potential.
