I've had it for 25 years, and I suspect it is a very old one. It gets at least 3ft tall and it blooms heavily w side buds, and very fragrant. I'd say it's one of the first to bloom here, southwest MO zone5/6. Any ideas on it's name?

That's what I suspect. But seedlings can look like that but will not have identical DNA.
