Mutabilis - China Rosebush

Origin: Italy, around 1900
Flowers: 6 cm
Height: 2 m


This rosebush is still widely grown in Italy. It was introduced by Henri Corrévon, a Swiss rose breeder, who called it "Ideale type".
This rose is suitable for hot and temperate climates where it never stops blooming. The flowers change color in a surprising way: first, yellow and orange suede, then pink, fainting into purple later on. The petals, very elegant, assume multifaceted contours, equally gracious.
"Utabilis" can be grown as a bush or a creeper. In some regions in Italy, it is used as a hedge as well.
