| Positive | whalloper | On Apr 27, 2012, whalloper from Bear, DE wrote: Awesome 7" violet, almost blue blooms with 8 petals pointed at the tips. The petals have a faint silvery center stripe laid on top of the viotet color, giving it a fascinating metallic finish.
I have had this plant for 3 seasons and I love it. I have trained it to grow up a fence which faces east. Currently have 21 open flowers, and 32 unopened buds as of 4/27.
When I fertilize my roses (Rose Tone), I usually throw some at the base of The President also. |

It must be in the right spot -- the roots receive no direct sunlight and the foliage only receives morning sun. It grows wonderfully amongst my 'Kathleen' climbing rose! |

| Negative | fescuefairy | On Jul 1, 2006, fescuefairy from Franklin, TN (Zone 7a) wrote: My neighbor and I both bought this clematis this spring and planted in good spots. Mine withered up and died a slow death within two months. My neighbors is doing the same. I've always had good luck with clematis but generally buy them very small. This was a very big plant in full bloom when I got it.Too bad, it had a beautiful bloom. |
