I prefer the white better to the pink, I took a cutting last year and they take really easy;0)

Ooops yes know what you mean Carole I have 4 of these now and a couple of pinks grown from cuttings from Mother in Laws garden.
You won't be disappointed Gralew the flowers are quite large on this one :-)
Its as tall as the greenhouse DD so around 6-7ft, this usually flowers before the pinks but this year they're all flowering together :-)

Just had a look back on my garden at when I bought this DD couldn't for the life of me remember, that sections so handy :-), first picture 2009 so assume I bought 2008 its been this large for a couple of years now I had to chop it a bit last year so 3-4 years I'd say :-), my cuttings I took a couple of years ago are around 4ft!!!! not as bushy as this yet but not bad.

Fast growers then? ours looked a bit weedy, perhaps it will improve as it goes on...
