I too have had probs with tellmanniana, my only suggestion is to use a systemtic insectidice as they last for a few weeks and kill off the aphid eggs too. only prob is I think they just kill the aphids and do nothing for mildew so you may want to spray for that too.
interesting that Nick believes they suffer in too much shade as i remember reading recently they also suffer if they get full sun as they get crisped in the heat of summer. perhaps a happy medium is whats needed
