Yep they are definately keepers! Cloves and lilies is how I describe them, I don't sense a brug scent. I have Milk & Wine, Mrs. James Hendry and Ellen Bosanquet. They do take up a lot of room tho Chantell, and when not in bloom can look pretty gawky due to their large sprawling leaves. The older they get, the more stalks and flowers you get. My Milk & Wine is probably 3x3x3' high and put on a show from April to late June.

Mrs. James Hendry is one with a more subdued habit and is beautiful with her pink blushed blooms. She is at least 2 years old and didn't bloom 1/4 of what M&W did.
