That's really interesting, Ellen, because among the TBs, rebloomers tend 
to do MUCH better than oncers for me.  Not that they rebloom here, mind 
you (not even IMMORTALITY - not once!), but they do tend to be much more 
vigorous, much more capable of outgrowing rot infections, and much more 
likely to bloom reliably in the spring.  Only some older historic TBs can 
match their performance in my garden.  Of course, the dwarfs and medians 
(exclusive of BBs) typically exceed the reliability of any TBs here by a 
mile.
