1996 Intro

(cv.WEKplasol) Pat.#9715

Shrub / Climber - Multicolor yellow, coral, tangerine and pink

Moooove over Mutabilis (Rosa that is). Even if you don’t know the charming old rose who’s flowers change color every day, you’ll be fascinated by the ever-changing display from this sparkling new Shrub. The large clusters of single blossoms carry all different colors at the same time. Highly resistant foliage is so shiny glossy green that it seems to mirror the flower colors. In mild climates, the plant can grow large enough to be used as a Pillar or Climber. Yet, it’s a nice rounded Shrub in harsher region.
  • Height / Habit: Very large, rounded to fountainous
  • Bloom / Size: Medium-small, single, in large clusters
  • Petal count: 5 to 8
  • Parentage: Playboy x seedling derivative of Rosa soulieana

  • Comments: Light prunting will maintain a better shap.
