'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?	REPLY

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.

Is this Joseph's Coat? It was supposed to be Anastasia.	REPLY

It doesn't appear to be Joseph's Coat to me. The foliage appears too glossy and the colors are just wrong for what I have observed over the past nearly four decades of Joseph's Coat. Does that mean it absolutely could NOT be Joseph's Coat? No. But it does mean I have never seen the rose with foliage as glossy appearing, nor with coloring as "blue-pink" as this photo appears.

I realized it's not thorny. I have taken another photo of it. I just looked it, not download yet. I wonder what it could be?	REPLY
