The plant is pretty healthy. The blooms are small and cute. The color is a beautiful, peachy pink. The blooms can sometimes have an orange center with outer pink petals. The fragrance is very light, but I haven’t had it for long. I’m hoping the fragrance will get stronger as it matures.

This Rose doesn’t get enough credit. Louise Clements is an absolutely stunning and prolific Rose that smells heavenly it’s apricot blooms are like no other in your garden. She is only in her first year and I’m blown away. I can’t imagine what we have to look forward to. If you have not purchased Louise Clements put her in your cart right now! You’re welcome.

This rose is growing nicely in a pot, healthy and covered with blooms in her second year. The blooms are very delicate with thin petals.

For a week in my garden this May the climbing Cecile Brunners were head-high and covered with neat little pink roses so heavily that had Monet seen them he might have been tempted to paint them in his "Haystack" series of paintings. At a little more than half the size was my Louise Clemens. Its flowers were larger and rendered in a garden-friendly soft orange and it was just as well covered with them, so it was just as impactful. The precise set of colors in the flowers make this a wonderful "bridge" plant between vibrant hot colors like vermilion/fire engine red and softer ones like pastels, pinks, purples, mauves. It's nice to have a color that isn't white that works for the transition. The shrubby habit of the rose is marvelous and it seems unaffected by late frost, mildew or blackspot in this location.
