Clair Matin Rose

Clair Matin rose - what a delightful, flowery rose you have grown into, now that I've pruned away the greedy, overhanging trees and given you more of the simple things in rose-life - sunshine, water, and lots of gentle encouragement.

There were a few dodgy years, back in the past and well forgotten, when you looked more like a dismal morning than a clear one. But now, in spring, summer - and autumn, too - you've been continually flowering, a modest blushing beauty.
