Kaleidoscopic colorplay is what I seek in my garden, and few plants deliver this as beautifully as Flutterbye, above. Red buds open to fragrant, single yellow roses that turn orangey red as they age. All colors can be found in a single spray. I love the hot colors and the cheerful countenance of this reblooming rose. A vigorous shrub, Flutterbye will attain a height and width of 6 to 8 feet, and can be trained as a climber. Flutterbye is hardy in my zone 5 garden and shows resistance to black spot, mildew and rust. Flutterbye Rose photo by JulenaJo.

Love those colors! My two favorite along with red.
ReplyDeleteI love it. I decided a couple years ago to stop buying roses because of the Japanese beetles. I might make an exception for this one. Love the color variation.

That is one nice rose!
ReplyDeleteYeap, those two color combo really work well together. Yellow and orange - lovely! What a beautiful flower.
ReplyDeleteA stunning rose - what a color combination!
ReplyDeleteHi~~ I'm so behind on my blog reading. Your 'Flutterbye' is endearing and beautiful. Reminds me of my Rosa 'Mutabilis.' The blooms also morph through the colors. So nice.
