Anemone Clematis 'Rubens'

Description:
Clematis montana 'Rubens', commonly known as Anemone Clematis 'Rubens', is a vigorous deciduous climber renowned for its abundant, sweetly scented, pastel pink flowers that bloom from late spring to early summer. The blossoms, approximately 5 cm in diameter, feature four rounded petals and prominent yellow anthers, emitting a delightful vanilla fragrance.
