Rose Mutabilis

From pointed crimson buds, single flowers are borne in clusters that smother the foliage from spring until autumn. The petals open a golden apricot yellow and age gracefully through salmon pink and finally a crimson. A rare and lovely garden rose, coated in a palette of colour. The scent also changes from sweet through spicy. Ideal for rambling. New growth is tinted an attractive coppery red. Believed to have originated from China, with early records tracing its early use in Italian gardens. CHINA ROSE, 1894.
