OK. Here it is . . . There's another I need to capture . . . and quite a few buds. A good display for such a still-tiny plant. DEFINITELY worth it!

Of course I had to look it up on HMF and the open blooms are exquisite. An endless number of petals and not the fire engine red I dread, and I can just imagine the wonderful fragrance.

On the fragrance, Paul's comment was:

" Its fragrance is superb and matches the bloom color beautifully."

Jeri and Sheila, you both have exquisite roses. I love Paul's description of the fragrance. For this and much else he should be so proud.

@jerijen, how are the thorns on this variety?

You know, I blush to say this, but I never look. I went out -- this is the first halfway mature growth, and I am surprised to day that it appears to be THORNLESS.

Really love the form on this flower! @Sheila z8a Rogue Valley OR, is that a really long cane? This variety seems to be wider than tall, is that the case?

Just glorious! Jeri and Sheila, your Clara Ts are breathtaking in full bloom. It's wonderful that they come with a nice fragrance too.

So far Clara is wider than tall, and that is a long cane on each side that relaxes down with all the blooms. She may grow taller and stiffer in time. She is newish so I don't know.

She has long canes on both sides. I bet she will climb the fence here.

I'm REALLY glad you told me that, because I must re-think where to put her.

I will be really interested to see what she will do, Jeri.
