Matt, see if you can find a start of 'From a Distance' (Ernst, 1994). 

This is (' Edith Wolford' X 'Merry Madrigal') X ('Edith Wolford' x self ). 
Not surprizingly, this looks a lot like 'Edith Wolford', especially from a 
distance,--nudge nudge wink wink-- but in Virginia it tends to be a stronger 
growing plant. It is not as exquisite as Edith, but the coloration is very similar. 
Registered height is 38." 

Perhaps someone has noticed it in a current catalog and will speak, or you 
might ask Cooley's.

Cordially,
