    Hello,

    My mother planted this fragrent flowering shrub beside our front entrance back when I was a child. Every year is provides copious white blooms with a wonderful, sweet fragrence that is the first thing I smell when I open the door each morning. This bush flowers early July and the blooms last for about a week - it currently stands at approx 5', has medium to light green leaves. My mother passed on years ago and I would like to learn what this shrub is so that I can better care for it. I am attaching a photo taken the other day. I live in PEI, Hardiness Zone 5B.

    Thanks for your help!
    Jennifer
