Mutabilis

Mutabilis is a beautiful and unusual China Rose with a name meaning literally “liable to change.” The pointed buds open into single, 3” blooms with 5 simple petals that ebb and flow through a series of color changes. Mutabilis begins yellow aging to coppery orange, to rich pink, and ending with fiery red. With various blooms in different stages, expect Mutabilis to show off multiple colors at once. Her delicate, open blooms resemble sweet butterflies giving the garden a whimsical feel. She is an outstanding, continually blooming shrub that is vigorous and blooms early.
