Sorry, Gita, I personally do not think you can ever tell one of these brugs once the tag is gone unless it is an unusual one. There are so many look alikes now. And sometimes the tags are wrong too!

The suavs and the suaveolen hybrids all have a quite similar look to me. The best yoy could do to identify whichone this is, is to get another named one of the ones you think it may be, cross pollinate them to yours, and see which ones pod for you and which one doesn't.

Yours could easily be either you mentioned. Funny too for this morning when I was doing my walk around, I found one in my "I can't Kill you yet allee" that was blooming and the tag said Pink Suaveolons. I had kicked it over, a sign it is to be a goner, but then later feeling guilty, came back and tipped the pot back up to be reconsidered. There were great tall straight suckers on it and I thought......eh maybe I will do a standard out of this. LOL. But the blooms were broken so that is why they look odd and getting wilted.
