LADY EMMA always blooms in class here (as opposed to my favorite early MTB
BLUE CHIP STOCK which is always tall but I love it!) I have LADY EMMA in the RE
bed where it gets more water (soaker hose) with my favorite SDB RE like
LITTLE BLUE EYES, SMELL THE ROSES etc and it blooms later them and before the IB
RE like LO HO SILVER. We have 200+ MTBs and although LE is not next to them,
she displays all the characteristics of an older MTB. Like I said, not great
form but dependable rebloomer so in October, she looks pretty good to me!!
Let me know off-line if you want a picture for ID purposes.
