'Ruth Clements ™' rose Reviews & Comments
HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.
Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.
We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.
Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..
We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.
As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

A hardy and pleasing rose. Color-changes from pink with an orange yellow glowing center as a freshly opened bloom, to pure pink, and then lightens to light pink. Blossoms last a long time on the bush, even in direct sun - a week at least! Fragrant, and holds her head up high to face the sun. Underrated IMO!

In my Michigan 6a zone, I attempted to overwinter 5 roses in pots, Golden Celebration, Eustacia Vye,
Scentuous, Bolero and this one, Ruth Clements. The ONLY one to survive (even THRIVE) in my unheated 6a garage during many thaw/freeze cycles this unpredictable winter, was Ruth Clements. I consider that high praise.
She then got neglected this spring, and got devoured by sawflies, until I finally remembered to spray her. I also forgot to fertilize her at all. Despite that, she is a healthy size, and has about 4 big buds, and is just about ready to bloom. If I had fertilized her earlier, she'd probably be even bigger and have more flowers. She deserves a permanent spot in my garden.
Blooms were lovely pink with an apricot center, reminiscent of an english rose. Her scent was also very good, and bush health has been fantastic.
Very rain tolerant, though her blooms are very full/many-petaled.
