Rosa chinensis 'Mutabilis' (Mutabilis China Rose)

$0.00

This exquisite rose blooms continuously from spring until frost with large, single yellow blooms that age to apricot, then to coppery pink and finally to deep magenta, with all the colors on the bush at the same time. Extremely vigorous and disease resistant, it is also drought tolerant once established (this species is noted as the most drought-tolerant rose available). New foliage is reddish purple, turning green as it matures. Grows 4-8 ft. tall by 3-6 ft. wide, but can be kept smaller with regular pruning. Prefers full sun but tolerates partial shade. Works as a specimen plant, in a very large container, or as an informal hedge. Has only light fragrance, but makes an excellent cut flower. Attracts pollinators, butterflies and hummingbirds.
