'Joseph's Coat' rose Reviews & Comments

I have had a rose bush I thought was Joseph's Coat but it does not seem to me to be a climber and the color of the blooms can be described as pink and yellow variance but I have never thought of it as red and yellow blends. This rose bush also never has problems with black spot or rust. I'm wondering if it is something other than Joseph's Coat?

There are a number of things your rose might be with those colors. Joseph's Coat is extremely prickly and can be grown as a shrub without support. Perhaps it's possible yours might be Joseph's Coat, but a very unhappy plant of it. If you can post photos of it I'm sure you would get some suggestions of others to compare it to. You should see the "add photo" tab on the right side of your posting once you've posted it under the "edit post" tab.

There has been many outstanding climbers introduced in the past 10 years or so. Joseph's Coat introduced in 1964 is my favorite by far. I don't know of a rose more appropriately named. At best it is a magical rose with amazing color variation which changes from day to day. The wonderful pictures posted by HMG member "Mashamcl" of San Jose, CA say it all. The rose is appropriately vigorous and remontancy is outstanding. In our climate (Zone 9B) it blooms right through the winter months. Unlike some of the newer cluster blooming climbers of recent vintage this rose will mildew and rust without protection. Jacob's Coat, advertized as an improved version, does not come close. By the way Joseph's Coat is equally enchanting in a vase.

Joseph's Coat is very susceptible to rust in coastal Northern California. In all other respects, this is an excellent rose, but its propensity to defoliate from rust and/or blackspot make it a bad choice, in my opinion, for cool and humid climates.
