Clothilde Soupert cl or Souvenir de la Malmaison cl?
Comments (11)I don't recommend CLIMBING CLOTILDE SOUPERT for Southern California. This cultivar is prone to powdery mildew in dry climates. Clotilde is a very climate specific rose, needing both humidity and heat to ward off the mildew and to fully open the tightly quartered flowers. She performs best in the Old South where the summers are sultry. A good option for you is CLIMBING LA FRANCE. The nodding pink flowers are larger and gracefully nod downwards, always a plus for a climber. The blooms are also intensely fragrant. The only disease problems this rose has is black spot, something that really isn't much of a concern in your dry Mediterranean-like climate. I think you would also be pleased with Climbing Maman Cochet or Madame Berard (tea-noisette, 1870). I've read that both A SHROPSHIRE LAD and CLIMBING SOUVENIR DE LA MALMAISON are poor repeaters. Flo, I'm glad your Climbing Clotilde is doing so well. When this rose is "on" she is truly breathtaking. Best wishes, Patrick Image of Madame Berard by cweathersby-NE-TX-7b/8a.

Comments (7)Thank you, thank you! I looked at all of the pictures of Cl American Beauty, American Beauty, and Ulrich Brunner fils on HMF. Well, it is definitely not American Beauty. Between the other two, it is harder to choose because both look very similar to my rose. However, as I have had one plant growing in actual full sun (which is very rare in my garden) for over 6 years, and it has NEVER put out anything even remotely resembling a climbing cane (it does travel sideways, but not by long canes, but by tip rooting off the very flexible 4-5 foot canes it does put out - once there were 3 new plants of it the same size as the original before I noticed them!). So, I don't think it can be Cl American Beauty. Also, the color of my rose looks much more like the pictures of UBf on HMF - the buds are a really dark raspberry, and the blooms only gradually lighten to medium pink. I think it is most probably Ulrich Brunner fils, which I never would have found without your advice. My husband's ancestors always planted well known and popular roses of the day, so they probably thought they were planting American Beauty. Anyway, I love this rose, as it does grow in shade, and is easy to get new plants from, and blooms all summer. Jackie...See MoreHAVE: American Pillar & American Beauty, cl.
