Good as a hedge or large specimen. Some sources claim they have trained Mutabilis as a climber, though the plant is so naturally bushy that I would think trying to restrain its horizontality would be more trouble than it’s worth. Mutabilis won’t so much grow up a trellis as it will consume the trellis in all dimensions. Peaceful Habitations Rose Gardens says that it has “a well developed sense of humor” La Landriana gardens in Italy feature over 300 Mutabilis in 2 acres | ||

| Namesake: | “Dr Van Fleet alone is intelligently, persistently, and scientifically adventuring in the development of the different and important Chinese native species from which may arise in earlier or later succession the improved hardy garden roses so much needed.

| Habit: | Upright bush: h4-6 × w3 | ||
| Bloom time: | So far, mostly spring & fall—possibly more when better established. | ||
| Flower: | Cluster, double, Dark mauve/wine with white eye | ||
| Other notable features: | Weeks Roses site (owner of this rose) claims it gets better with establishment. First saw an unnamed beta version of this rose at It’s a Jungle here in Austin. Big old beast in a ~10 gallon pot covered in deep purple-red flowers with white eyes. When I had scraped together my pennies and went back to buy it, they said they now had the named cultivar in stock, which I bought. Mine has never been as deep or gem-like in its coloring as that trial plant I saw—but it’s had a pretty stressful life, so I’m hoping that when it settles in it will gain some intensity. Somewhat susceptible to the Horrid Fungus that killed off 2 of my Maggies last year. | ||
