JOSEPH'S COAT

Quantity:

{ Click To View Larger Rose Photo }

We have waited many years to offer virus-free, virus-indexed plants of 'Joseph's Coat', the most strikingly colorful of all climbing roses. I can remember almost 30 years ago it was my uncle's (a lover of roses) favorite. Large trusses of medium sized, semi-double blooms of cherry-red, overlaid, shaded and blended with gold. They open to show rich, deep golden centers. A color combination that will catch your eye the minute you enter your garden. Moderately fragrant. An upright plant with dark-green, glossy foliage. May be grown as a free standing shrub, pillar or climbing rose. Makes a wonderful tall hedge. Very vigorous and easy to grow even in inferior soil. Very disease resistant, continual blooming and hardy zones 5-10, 12+ petals, bloom 4"

Those climbing roses whose names start with 'Climbing' or 'Cl' are sports (genetic mutations of the bush varieties of the same name). They generally have a heavy spring bloom followed by scattered blooms throughout the season. The individual blooms on climbing roses can be of a finer quality and larger than those of the bush form. Climbing roses whose names are not prefaced with ‘Climbing’ or 'Cl' are bred by crossing two roses. They generally have a heavy spring crop followed by a better repeat bloom and usually a good fall crop of blooms with a few exceptions. A few seedling Climbing roses bloom only once and are so noted here. Climbing roses are a diverse group with many different heritages, which makes this a wonderfully useful collection of roses. More climbing roses should be grown as they provide wonderful color in the garden without taking up much ground. Large flowered climbing roses differ from Ramblers in that they have fewer, yet larger blooms (4-6 inches in size) and are not quite as vigorous growers. Being so diverse, they vary in winter hardiness. Generally climbing roses are hardy zones 5 or 6 through 10 except as noted, some with more hardiness as noted.
