ok . decided to commit to 4 recommendations for you
1. guernsey cream early blooming white that opens pistachio color, fades to cream with a recurving sepal at maturity. hard prune at end of bloom cycle and will give you a good second show. it has a rather mounding growth habit and can be contained to front of border on a obelisk type support. i grow it on climbing hydrangea or shorter obelisk type supports.
2. Margaret hunt a fantastic bloomer without years to esatablish. blooms bloom blooms and very pretty. not hard to eatablish or fussy. never had any wilt with either this or guernsey crea,
3. tie dye same as above on all points
4 rouge cardinal same as above on all points

i would get two guernsey creams and grow them in front of the other 3. the other three can be on the fence with some type of assist.

here is guernsey cream form last year. i actually have this clem in almost every one of my clem gardens as it is a showstopping early bloomer that makes an spring garden walk pleasant in areas that have not yet started major blooming.
