| Hello. I saw a photo in one of my books last night of this lovely! Just went to HMF were she is classified as a Hybrid Perpetual, Gallica and Alba...
Hmmmm... Does anyone grow her? Thanks! Susan |

| Not in many years. This and Spencer appear to have been confused in this country for a very long time. I didn't find it to be a good enough "doer" in my climate so it was given away many, many years ago. Kim |

| I think of it as a Hybrid Perpetual. I don't grow it but saw it many years ago at San Jose Heritage Rose Garden, it does have a lovely bloom. I don't recall if it had a strong fragrance.... The Hybrid Perpetuals and Damask Perpetuals do well here, they tolerate cold very well. If you like pink heavily petalled blooms, Marchesa Boccella is a fantastic rose for a cold zone, delicious fragrance and a sturdy rose. |

| Thanks for the advice. I am still trying to sort out the differences in all the classes. I will add Marchesa Boccella to the list. Clementina Carbonieri strikes my fancy. I seem to be drawn to the Nabonnands. *sigh* Susan |

| Mildewed horribly here. We gave her to a friend, who lived further inland, and whose garden was not troubled much by mildew --- and danged if it didn't mildew horribly for her, as well. But IIRC, it does well in the Sacramento City Cemetery. Jeri |

| 'Clementina Carbonieri' is a fabulous beauty! a slow starter in my garden where roses are grown very hard, but my mature plant is now enormous. |
|
| CC just doesn't like my conditions, I guess. I've tried 4 times. I give up! Jeri |
|
| I agree with Melissa CC is a very slow starter. Must have patience. Keep her weed free and feed her! She is so worth it! |
|
| It's one of the better Hybrid Perpetuals for this climate. I really liked her, very fragrant and the shades of pink in her flowers are really luminous, not just an ordinary "pink". Gets some blackspot without spraying and a little leggy, but worth the trouble. |

| CC is on my order. Guess Enfant shall not be! Thanks. Cannot wait to get her. AND, I'm assuming I should use the feeding and pruning techniques you suggest, Kim? Thanks! Susan |
