Florence,
You will love this rose. The aphids love it too. I have to hose mine almost daily through the first bloom. We've been having Santa Ana winds this weekend (yeah, 100s already). All roses that have opened this weekend got a little scorched but most of the rest are going to open this coming week and the ocean breezes are returning with high of 67 forecast for Tuesday. Whew!
I will take a photo for you this week of mine and Buff Beauty which is LOADED with buds. This is their 3rd year and I think it's going to be something to see.

Clair Matin as a shrub

One of my favorites also. I cut it back heavily last fall and it grew back quickly. This year I decided to peg it sort of back onto itself as it is in a small patio space. Paul Zimmerman's how to video inspired me. I wanted to see even more blooms. So now instead of it reaching every which way, it's more a green mass in a 5 ft. space. It always pleases with those warm pink blooms.

My Clair Matin Post Vanished Overnight!

I saw my first orange sherbet bloom of Clair Matin on May 10. Just after posting this new thread my husband brought me a half-open bloom of Clair Matin. I hadn't looked at the rose today, since yesterday all that was on the bush was the buds you see above. Guess what? THE BLOOM IS PINK! The outside petals are a deeper pink and the inside is paler, but there isn't the slightest hint of peach or apricot or salmon. I am so thrilled! How a rose in nine days can turn from completely NOT pink to completely pink is beyond me. I wish I could remember to be patient and not panic right away when something doesn't look right. I'm happy to report though that today Mme. Lombard opened her first bloom and she looks exactly as she should. I won't be wasting your time about her. I just want to say again thank you for your support and the lovely pictures. Ingrid

Lafter---Clair Matin and KO---

Florence, the middle picture is wonderful with the fine spray of CM and the nice color contrast with Lafter. You remember the thread I started three weeks ago where you, I, Pat, Trish, and others were raving about Clair Matin. My first flush is still winding down after five full weeks, and a second flush is already setting up huge clusters all over. I think they will overlap. Love that rose!

That is such a lovely rose, Florence. Your garden looks absolutely stunning. May I know the name of the darker pink rose to the right of CM? Everything looks incredibly healthy and beautiful.

How gorgeous! I love the color and think the bush is beautiful. This is going on my list of roses I'd like to have. I never realized it's so beautiful.

Thank you very much.
