The white stuff has circle the stems on a few limbs and it is still amongst the living ~ thankfully.

Upon closer inspection, the peach scale sounds more like it. I have only had experience with the hard shell scale. I will need to read up and see where to go with this.

Thanks for the suggestions and assistance. Wish me luck, I like this one and hope to keep it. The blooms are nondescript but the fragrance is exquisite!
