HELP--Deutsia/Deutzia?

| Hi Forum,
I have 3 shrubs came with the house. They are too close and need moving out. They are in shade, are light green, not real special at any time except early spring when they have little white flowers that aren't all that special, but my lord they smell divine!
The local nurserywoman thinks they might be some kind of old fashioned shrub she hasn't seen in 20 or so years, called deutzia/deutsia?
How can I ID this shrub? Can I move successfully? Does it need shade/sun? Can I propagate? How?
Thanks,
Kat |

| Probably mockorange (Philadelphus). Deutzia don't smell much. |

| Some Deutzia cultivars have been known to be scented, and "little flowers" doesn't sound like most mockoranges that I know, though I could be wrong. Can you post a picture to help with ID? Otherwise, I would do a search for images of deutzia on the web, and compare it with your plant, to see if they match up. Jim |

| "My Lord they smell devine!" wouldn't be likely reaction with deutzia, but, whatever--should be easy to find out if either by looking at some pictures. |
