Tall with small blooms is not what immediately jumps to mind when one thinks of Bachman cultivars, but these are a few of Dan's that I think are gems. All highly recommended.

Can't find my photo of it, (dang hard drive crash), you'll just have to take my word for it. One I will always grow.
Woodchopper's Ball (Bachman, 2012)
height 60in (152cm), bloom 4in (10.2cm), season MLa, Semi-Evergreen, Diploid, 24 buds, 6 branches, Scarlet red petals with gold midribs, yellow sepals with bronzed red brushing, gold green throat. ((Tasmania × It's Soul Time) × (Karen's Curls × It's Soul Time))
KR Notes : Photos, simply do not do this one justice. It's such a standout in the garden, I've seen nothing else like it. You may think it's not cutting edge, but you will change your mind when you see this perfectly balanced 60" cutie growing in a garden. Great scape! Hardy and vigorous !
I hesitate to show one of my photos, as it really doesn't do it justice. (taken with a phone) Color is more "red" and vibrant. If you like tall smalls, do yourself a favor and seek this one out.
