Vigorous, disease resistant rose can be grown as a climber or a large shrub…will climb to 10-12'; continuous vibrant blossoms from buds of blushing apricot opening to vivid cherry red with bright golden centers – a FIESTA of a rose for a bright sunny spot, most soils, average garden conditions.

Joseph's Coat Rose has long been a favorite of ours for its brilliant, unrivaled color, repeat bloom and disease resistance.This compact climber can also be trained as a shrub and will continue to delight either way. Blooms start as red buds and open to an array of red, orange gold and bright butter-yellow. They hold well on the erect stems for garden display or as a cut flower. The plant tolerates a wide range of conditions and even performs well in the hot, humid southeast! Flower Size:3 inches. Origin: Armstrong and Swim, US 1963.
