Plant of the Month – July Rosa x odorata Mutabilis July 13th, 2017

July Plant of the month: Rosa x odorata Mutabilis

UCDavis Arboretum All Star , the Butterfly rose shines throughout the year but especially in the heat of summer.

The simple flower ( ie one layer of petals)  on the Mutabilis rose comes out in multiple colors and tends to https://www.cialissansordonnancefr24.com/generique-cialis/ cover this large 6’x6’+ shrub.
Flowers do not need to be deadheading making it maintenance free through most of the year. Major pruning every other year or so to maintain size and cut out dead wood is all that is required.
Attracts beneficial insects and bees and requires minimal water. (It currently is watered 2xmonth but I have seen it continue to bloom with no irrigation for over 6 weeks mid summer through 100°+ weather)
