Rosa mutabilis is a good example - it starts as a bud opening yellow/cream/orange (difficult even to describle) changing with time and heat to deep crimson pink. In hot weather this change is very rapid in spring and autumn much slower. they My Hesperides Gardenhttp://myhesperidesgarden.wordpress.com/2011/02/15/february-bloomday/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791015846743839791.post-37051401904701681882011-03-01T07:40:33.667-08:002011-03-01T07:40:33.667-08:00Thank you, the Redneck Rosarian.

"Double Delight" has always been one of my favorites. I had "Variegata di Bologna" for a while but finally ditched it because it got blackspot so bad after it bloomed. <br /><br />Not familiar with Phillip Oliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01546160918395373740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791015846743839791.post-85794346474661197922011-02-26T08:05:38.513-08:002011-02-26T08:05:38.513-08:00Sweetbay, thank you.

Rosa Mundi should be pretty easy to find, and the mottled Gallica is probably either Belle de Crecy or Boulle de Nanteuil. Gallicas are often striped and mottled due to virus (like camellias) but still grow vigorously.Mashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15996950576326655813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791015846743839791.post-3257686266135456422011-02-26T08:03:24.463-08:002011-02-26T08:03:24.463-08:00Thank you, One.

I have about 120 give or take a few, but I live 15 minutes away from the San Jose Heritage Rose Garden, the biggest rose collection in the Western Hemisphere.

I have seen Honorine de Brabant and apparently it is good for some people and bad for others. I am not sure if it depends on climate or if there are different "clones" of this rose around... I think older roses are generally more subtle in coloring, a taste for bright contrasting colors is fairly recent.Mashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15996950576326655813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791015846743839791.post-76660384134541203002011-02-26T06:44:46.146-08:002011-02-26T06:44:46.146-08:00I will admit I love the striped and dotted roses f...I will admit I love the striped and dotted roses for contrast, although I don't have any.

I like to see these type of roses (a neighbor up the block from me has a fantastic one I believe is Joseph's Coat), but I can't actually bring myself to pick a rose thats more than one color.
