There are not very many reblooming diploids on the
market but one that comes to mind is Merit (Ken Fisher
'96). Very nice and consistent rebloom for me in zone
8. It's a Ken Fisher variety and he tends to mix it up
a bit but looking at the parentage, it looks like it
should be a diploid.

V7: (Ozark Sky x 80-J: (Slim Jim x Dainty Damsel)) X
B6: ((Spanish Coins x White Canary) x (White Canary
sdlg. x Spanish Coins))

This variety might be a good place to start. It seems
to be both pod and pollen fertile. Plants are vigorous
and well proportioned. Nice branching and good bud
count, about 7 or 8. It wasn't registered as a
rebloomer but Aitken's marketed it as one and it seems
pretty consistent for me.

Another variety is Keirith by Jean Witt. I have not
grown this variety so I can't comment on it. 

On the tetraploid level, there is Claire Doodle and
Emma Doodle that are rebloomers and the Craigs have
several very interesting ones. Rave Review, Smash and
Adopt Me are offered in their catalog this year.
