Rosa
chinensis mutabilis |
| Rosa chinensis mutabilis is about the most free
flowering shrub that I know. It will bloom straight through winter
in coastal California. The flowers fade from pale pink with
the yellow blush of the anthers to a dark pink. Bushes get up to 10 feet tall if they are not
trimmed back. Rosa mutabilis will hang in there with minimal water
but it really prefers a regular drink. I don't trim mine except to
keep it from swallowing its neighboring plants or burying pathways.
Rosa mutabilis will even bloom
in the shade but the plants get a little spindly.
