Rose Details

(‘Tipo Ideale’) (China Rose): A very beautiful and unusual China Rose. The pointed buds open into single, three inch blooms that go through a myriad of color changes. They emerge flame red and age to a coppery honey-yellow to orange and red, with all the colors are on the bush at the same time! It is almost like having two roses for the price of one. Mahogany colored new growth adorns this rose. Mutabilis is usually rounded in growth habit, but it may become tall and spreading. It can be an outstanding shrub or, depending on how your garden favors it, a climber. As a bush, it is anywhere between 3-8 feet tall and 2-6 feet wide. An early and continual bloomer. Shade tolerant. (1800's)
