I'm really starting to love these singles.

I was out watering a few minutes ago and found my first bloom on my new Mutabilis!!

Did I read somewhere that this rose is a sport or seedling of Mutabilis? No wonder I love it.

TFS,
Betty

Really lovely. Would like to see a whole-bush shot of it in order to compare it to Mutabilis. The stamens are really something.

Oh Pam, you are so funny. Yes, you need it. I'ts so pretty and crinkly, and the colors are different than Mutabilis. 8-)

It is a very lovely rose! Too bad my garden space is so limited. :D

I think it was 5 or 6 years ago, I saw this rose for the first time (in a book!) and quickly decided that I'd needed to have it! :o))) But it was unavailable in Europe until this year.
Emmiegray, it is a once bloomer as I read here and there, or not?

Thanks

In my climate it reblooms all year, it is a china, or china hybrid anyway.
I pruned it rather severely recently, so can't get a full bush shot. The specimen at Vintage, as I recall, grows large, like Mutabilis.
