Mystic Beauty or Zaide

I've been looking at these two for for a couple of years but I'm not sure. Space is limited. I need to know the growth habit of the bushs and the bloom production. Really don't want to spend 3 yrs on a dud. I really need a decent size bush (3---4 ft)

RE: Mystic Beauty or Zaide

Ken--My 'Mystic Beauty' grew up at a reasonable rate. It is about 3 x 4. The reason it doesn't get taller is (a) a lot of the growth comes out at a low angle and (b) it sets flower buds too quickly for long stems to develop. It is a tremendous bloomer in singles or, more often, triplets. All the flowers are big, well-formed, and fragrant, except I do get occasional balling, not bad like SDLM, though.

It's a handsome, leafy shrub, too. Highly recommended.
