heard that one is tougher than the other. Jeffery's form is a third good
one.

Having moved last year, I had to leave the Apple Blossom behind. But in a
local nursery came across a variety I hadn't heard of - "Hendersonii
rubra" (also known as "Henderson pink". Looked very attractive with its
deepish pink buds - although the flowers are still white. So I've put one
in, and it seems to be doing well. Have you come across it or got any
experience of it, Charlie?

No, sorry, I no longer grow any of them, I found they don't like it here and
always looked a tatty mess, especially in summer.
