Rose Type: Climbing Rose
Joseph’s Coat is a classic climbing rose known for its ever-changing display of brilliant color. Large clusters of blooms transition through shades of yellow, orange, scarlet, and deep carmine, often showcasing several colors at the same time. The medium to large flowers measure approximately 4–4.5 inches across and carry 23–28 petals. This kaleidoscope of color gives the plant a lively, almost theatrical presence from spring through the growing season.
Lightly fragrant blooms are produced in generous waves along long canes that can quickly cover fences, arbors, and trellises. Glossy, apple-green foliage softens the intensity of the flowers while creating an attractive backdrop for the changing colors. Joseph’s Coat performs especially well in mild climates and adapts to a variety of garden conditions, including coastal environments, partial shade, and hot, dry locations. Its vigorous climbing habit makes it an excellent choice for adding vertical interest to the landscape.
