Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Description

  • Notes

Joseph's Coat is an old-fashioned favorite with its rich, orange-red buds that open to a spray of golden yellow tapering to pinkish orange-red. A small scale climber, it can to trained to a pillar, post, or trellis, or if pruned hard annually, it can be made to grow more shrub-like. Grows 8 to 10 feet tall and half as wide. Repeat bloomer.
Roses need to be planted in full sun and well drained, loose, organic soil. For tips on siting, planting, pruning, and training roses, see the Guides, as it just doesn't all fit here!
