Ralph Moore used 'Pink Clouds' most effectively in his production of miniature "tree" roses, which is to say, miniatures grafted on 18" stems of 'Pink Clouds' to act as dwarf standards.

This variety roots faster than any other rose I know and without any special effort, making it an excellent variety for understock production. It is possible to bud almost any scion variety onto it, however it does not provide as much "push" as some other selected rootstock varieties would. (Compared to 'Dr. Huey' or selections of R. multiflora.

Grown as a freestanding shrub, 'Pink Clouds' will make a very large arching shrub at least 10 feet in diameter and 10 to 12 feet tall. It is once-blooming and will form seeds.

'Pink Clouds' has not performed well for me as a rootstock in my warm low desert climate.

It performs fine in containers, but like multiflora, it seems to dislike our alkaline sandy soil.
