More people should grow this rose! It stays covered in blooms and it is a constant show of changing colors. Also, it's not a bad looking shrub for shape and foliage. Very hardy and seems to repel blackspot in all but the most humid weather, although it does like a little shade to keep from getting "wilty" in the hottest part of Summer. Depending on where you grow it, it can get very large. (My original plant is now 8' plus high and 5' plus wide) It really should be grown more!

When I accidentally cut too much one day while pruning, I stuck a piece of what I cut in the ground and forgot about it. That turned very quickly into a three foot tall shrub from which I have rooted 6 more plants. I now have a "Mutabilis hedge" and my neighbors are envious...
