| So pretty, Florence. Does it open properly for you? It is quite lovely. How is the scent? Juliet |

| What a lovely combination with ZD. I don't see any sign of balling either. Prettier than many other pictures of CS I've seen. Ingrid |

| Hi Juliet and Ingrid-----It has been my experience that it all depends on the weather----Last year it was a very wet spring and I noticed a lot of balling-----if it is warm and sunny the blooms are lovely---- Nice fragrance but not as strong as some of my other roses especially Zeffy----- Florence--- |

| How beautiful, Florence. I like how Clotilde looks growing with Zeffy, nice combo of blooms and colors. |

| Sigh, I miss that rose something fierce. The bushes have been disappointing. Very prone to powdery mildew, which didn't seem to bother the climber. The trick with Climbing Clotilde Soupert is heat. She needs consistent summer heat to open up the fat buds. That is why she is so liked in the Old South. The canes are low on thorns, long and flexible. A snap to train. Foliage is resistant to black spot. The small flowers are perfectly quartered like a miniature Souvenir de la Malmaison. Repeat is very reliable - a constant steady stream all season long. As you can see in the first image, the color is absolutely precious: translucent white blushed lilac pink in the center. Last but not least, the blooms have excellent vase life and the long/strong stems hold the blooms straight up. |

| I have in my head a fantasy of two climbing roses, one dark cool pink and one white with a pale pink center. I had cut and pasted photos of Super Dorothy and Zeffy next to Climbing Eden. Later I learned of CS. Voila! Here is my fantasy rose arbor. |
