Honorine de Brabant has very light, bright green foliage; Granny Smith green, paler than grass, tending toward the lime/yellow end of the spectrum. I don't find the hues of the blooms harmonious with the hues of the foliage. Nor does the foliage suit the garden bed in which it's currently residing, which contains darker and bluish greens predominantly. The blooms nestle in amongst the foliage on quite short [4inches/11cm] stems, so you can't really ignore the presence of the foliage.
The plant is highly vigorous and is 7 ft tall and 5 broad at 1 year of age, and reasonably dense. The stems are straight or gently curved, and flexible, staying green for a long time.
Lamarque is another with this light green foliage, and it's in the perfect spot to harmonise with a Eureka lemon that is growing next to its fence. Inspiration eludes me as to where best to place Honorine de Brabant to best effect.

it tends to lose a lot of buds with heavy rains
