  It's nice and upright as well, which is perfect as I'm not going for the totally laid back cottage garden look.

  Mrs Bradshaw is a scarlet red, at least it is in my garden. It does have a slightly lax habit though.

  By scarlet do you mean plain red with no orange? Think I may go for these.
  Thanks

  I have Mrs Bradshaw too and would describe it as proper scarlet.
