Clothilde Soupert

Clothilde Soupert, Soupert et Notting 1888

Polyantha 

Caroline X Madame Damaizin (Tea) 

An old favorite to so many people. In America you can still find her at cemeteries because of her rounded, short growth and prolific blooming all summer long. But also as a garden rose she's well loved and there are many reasons why 
Quartered or rosette shaped, very double blooms in flesh pink with darker pink center. They stand in clusters on a dense rounded shrub of 100X100 cm or 3X3 feet. She reminds us of roses such as Félicité Parmentier. But she has Safrano blood so her beauty comes from the best.
She doesn't like wet and damp summers, she likes warm and dry. Good health although maybe some mildew but nothing serious. Zone 5b to 9b. Flushes freely throughout the season. Only left to say she's deliciously fragrant. 
A rose very well worthy to grow
