Rose Mutabilis

Rose Mutabilis, commonly known as the Butterfly Rose, is a versatile shrub rose that offers a spectacular display of colour-changing flowers. Introduced before 1894, this old garden rose is cherished for its medium-sized single blossoms that transition through three distinct phases: starting as yellow, morphing into pink, and finally turning crimson. The dark, healthy foliage provides a striking backdrop for the ever-changing flowers, which appear from early spring to winter. With a growth potential of 2.4m to 3m in height, Mutabilis is not only perfect for mixed borders and perennial plantings but also serves as an exceptional informal hedge. Its heat tolerance and semi-evergreen nature in mild climates make it an easy-to-grow, year-round beauty.
