This is a great compact hybrid of unknown name. The canes are only 3-4" long and the flowers nearly 2" across. It blooms on leafy and leafless canes. There are 11 buds in all.

My understanding is that the soft-canes are more or less deciduous while hard canes are more evergreen. Certainly, the hard canes are more upright while soft canes are more arching if not pendant. Hard canes also produce a terminal spray of flowers while soft canes produce nearly stemless flowers from the leaf axils. Anyone can feel free to elaborate on the differences!
