Nice order, Neal! I don't know Edith's Darling (and it's not listed on the DA England website), but the others are all great. I adore Lady of Shalott and am sure you wouldn't regret buying it.
For next time, think also about Olivia Rose Austin, which is fairly new (released in England in 2014, I think they take a year longer in the US). It's quite small (3.5 ft high) and an absolutely delicious pink in colour (paler than Mary Rose). It's a Leander type hybrid, so the young leaves are reddish, and the sight of an opening bud against the leaves is breathtaking. It's described as particularly disease resistant, it has a wonderful perfume, and repeat flowers really well. If you plant something blue near it, it stops you dead in your tracks. I have it with geranium Rozanne and Munstead Wood (no photos, sorry); but see it here at David Austin against what looks like nepeta:

I hope you will post a few photos of your first blooms! Smiling
