This most interesting rose was once sold as ‘Tipo Ideale’, and it is ideally suited to illustrate the typical China trait of darkening with age, instead of fading. Nowhere is that trait more visible than in the flowers of ‘Mutabilis’, whose single petals open sulfur yellow, changing through orange to a rich pink

My rose bushes arrived in excellent shape and are doing great. Already booming…I’m so excited to watch them grow here in E. Tx. Thank you for a superior product 😄

Have had several Mutabilis for many years and wanted to add some more. They new ones are doing fine and are getting used to their new environment. I love their colors and their hardiness not just to cold but also their simplicity to care...
