Bob I am going to try Midnight Rose again. I purchased that one when I first moved here and the deer/rabbit kept eating the leaves as soon as it would grow a new one. I have them sort of under control, as much as you can control the wildlife. Maybe it will survive. My local nursery had some so I will give it a try again.
Yes I purchased Golden Z last year it is dead. It did not return this year. I am not happy I paid 20 bucks for that one.
My other good one is Caramel it is going on 4 years and it is very strong. Thank you for the list.
