I'd like to find a joseph tecni color coat rose but I don't know any
other name for it it is a varatious rose that seems to take over any
where it's planted without careful pruning but I love the beautiful
multi color flowers they range from almost purple to pink to white
with colored edges peach and yellow just all kinds of colors on one
bush and lots of the flowers are multi colored I've checked my local
garden supply and houses and and a few catilogs and can't find it is
there another name for it or is there a website or place where I can
order it?
My mother had one but when I asked her where she got it she said she
dug it up on a condemned lot uggggg leave it to her to get all her
neat plants that way .
Thanks

'Joseph's Coat' is a common climber, been around for years - should be
readily available pretty much anywhere roses are sold and most certainly
from rose mail order sources. It is a very popular and hardy rose,
moderately disease free. It opens from yellow buds and as the flowers age,
they change from yellow to tones of orange, red and finally a pinkish red -
no white or purple. The effect is multicolored when in bloom but it is a
similar effect to many other roses that change color as the flowers age.
True multicolored roses have petals that are more than one color - often
called bi-colors, picotees and various other terms. They seem to be having a
popularity increase, as hybridizers have been cranking them out like mad in
recent years. Personally, I find the ones that change color as they age more
appealing, like Joseph's Coat, Mutabilis, Peace, etc.
