    I have many Clements roses as I usually love them, but I was disappointed with Memories and dug it up and gave it away after I had had it for a few years. In all of the pictures I had seen, it had a slightly pink cast. I thought that was pretty. Mine rarely showed that pink cast and looked much more like an off-white rose to me. I didn't want a white or off-white rose, so I dug it up and sent it away.
