Judith I should also have said that both the Knap Hill and Exbury hybrids include quite a range of colours, and both types are deciduous. The former were developed early in the last century by Anthony Waterer at his Knap Hill nursery in Surrey, and they were further developed by Lionel de Rothschild at his Exbury estate, I think in the 1920's. If you don't find a match there, try looking for Ghent hybrids, originally developed in Belgium and Holland in the early to mid 1800's. -- Chris Gardening in West Cornwall overlooking the sea.
