Class:
Early Large Flowered, Group 2.
Bloom:
Pink. 6 to 8 petals. Average diameter 8". Large, single bloom form. Late spring to early summer, late summer to early autumn.
Habit:
Height: 6' to 8' (185 to 245cm).
Growing:
USDA zone 4b through 9b. Plant in partial shade to prevent fading of bloom color. Suitable for growing in a container. This plant blooms twice. It blooms on the previous year's growth, so resist the urge to prune it in early spring. However, if you garden in a place with cold winters, Mother Nature will more than likely prune the plant for you. It will bloom a second time on new growth.
Patents:
Patent status unknown (to HelpMeFind).

Notes:
In French, the word souvenir means "in remembrance of..." In this case, the breeder name this clematis in memory of his son who was killed in the First World War.
