Clio (W. Paul & Son, 1894): one of the most rampant, violently growing varieties I know, and viciously armed with thorns. The flowers come in clusters of three to seven and really ought to be disbudded, but I never have the heart to do it. They are a very light shade of flesh-pink, quite silvery, and sometimes milky-white. Fragrance is faint and just a little rank. This lovely rose is the favorite pasture of the rose-bug and suffers severely from its attacks. Wet weather also spoils the blooms, and severe heat scorches the buds so that they cannot open. I have never noted any fall bloom.

Hybrid Perpetual Roses.
Clio
A satiny flesh-colored Rose, with a pink center that is enchanting, presenting a soft, modest tone that is soothing to the eye. A very likable flower, whose exquisiteness grows upon one as a companion is made of it. The fragrance is mild and sweet. The flowers are large, globular, and borne upon long and graceful stems. Both bud and flower are symmetrical at all stages. The plant is stockily built and grows quickly to considerable size, the foliage being rich and handsome. When the buds are about two-thirds open, they are perfectly cup-shaped, slightly flaring at the top. By reason of heavy growth and ruggedness, it withstands cold weather and is among the first to show signs of life in the spring. Clio has been in existence for some years, and has won a place in the esteem of those who like a light-hued, delicately toned flower.

[From "UNE DES CAUSES DE LA PROLIFERATION DES ROSES", by Viviand-Morel, pp. 413-418]
Bien que les Roses prolifères ne soient pas très rares, mon attention a été attirée sur cette dernière par une note publiée par M. Georges Bellair dans la Revue Horticole. Au cours de cette note intitulée ; Sur la malformation des Roses, l'auteur est amenée â rechercher les causes qui produisent cette malformation et il met en première ligne la prédisposition naturelle de la variété. La sécheresse, les alternatives de chaud et de froid viennent ensuite. Il faut dire que parmi les variétés observées par M. Bellair, toutes n’ont pas présenté des cas de prolifération. Chez quelques-unes l'hypertrophie s’est bornée à communiquer aux boutons une impuissance â s’épanouir ; ceux-ci grossissent beaucoup et périssent sans cesser de rester plus ou moins clos.
Parmi les variétés mal formées citées par M. G. Bellair, il faut noter : Auguste Mie, Madame Moser, Madame Damaizin, Madame Boll, La Reine, Hermosa, Jules Margottin, James Bougault, Robert Lebaudy, Clio, Marie Guillot, Etoile de Lyon, Wagram, Clotilde Soupert, etc.
