The darkest one I have seen yet, unless you know any different ?
Raised from seed by an Irish Man. ;D

What a lovely surprise! Its a pleasure to have you back on the forum again Malcolm :D
As for the Clematis, it wasn't me ;D - I read on that web page it was one of my Irish neighbours Seamus O'Brien :D
Would you believe it - in my Engineering days I used to work in Finglas, fairly close to Glasnevin in Dublin.
Are you thinking of buying it Malcolm? Ive had a look through your vast collection of Clematis and don't see it on your WPG plants list (yet!) here:

We probably won't be getting that Clematis George :'(, although we will be attending our 'Wessex' Clematis group meeting in a months time, where they will be taking orders from anyone who wants one. ;D
We do have several C.Alpinas here, they tend to be a bit straggly, only supposed to be lightly pruned not too long after flowering.
But that one sure looks nice. :P

I grew black tulips once and I proudly showed them to my sister when visiting - she was horrified!
Still, if its a colour break in a plant, I am interested. Much better than "new" cultivars which are released and which would require DNA tests to tell the difference from existing varieties ;D

I wholeheartedly agree with you on that George.

How many cultivars are there in the Genus Rosa?
I'd like to see an ID parade there, and ask experts to tell the difference.
Mind you, fragrance plays a big part as does Classification (Hybrid Tea, Floribunda, Climbers etc) so we would have to sort the ID parade into groups. Having done that to say Hybrid Teas, I think it may be difficult for some ;D
