This rose has an upright habit, much like a dwarfed version of 'Therese Bugnet'. The canes are very winter hardy even in zone 4 and have a nice purple coloration over winter it also inherited from its dad. It blooms abundantly throughout the growing season. Depending on the weather the blooms can appear a lighter mauve or purple. Often there are white streaks down some of the petals. It won a silver certificate in the American Rose Society American Rose Center Trials in Shreveport, Louisana. It has proven itself in the North and through this test also in the South.

You should get Heirlooms to grow it! We could use smaller North American hybrid types in the West.

I just noticed that this is newly available from High Country Roses this year. I think that is the first time I've seen it for sale anywhere!

I read somewhere that Moore budded multiple copies of a cv on one cane of 'Pink Clouds'. Once the buds had made some growth, the cane was cut into suitable lengths and each cutting rooted.

They're called, "stentlings".
It's a common form of propagation of roses. There is lots of info online about it.

Robert,
Thanks for the info. I've been reading about "stenting", but it seems to be a bit different from what I recall Moore writing (I don't have the source, so I may be wrong).
Stenting, as I've read, involves rooting the stock while the graft union is healing. This is different from the old (19th century) practice of budding, waiting for healing, and then layering or taking cuttings.
Vibert budded China roses to new growth on a stool of Rosa reversa, then layered the shoot after the bud had begun to "push".
Variations on this theme borrow some of the "strength" of the mature stock, rather than relying on the nutrients available in the cutting.

My rose breeding mentor Elton Strack followed Ralph Moore's method of budding, healing, and then cuttings. I am concerned about virus and like to stent with first severing the rootstock and then grafting and then rooting so I don't inadvertently get my main rootstock plant infected from one dirty scion.
