Mutabilis at a glance
The Rosa ‘Mutabilis’ is more than just a rose; it is a living work of art, a timeless classic that proudly carries the nickname "The Butterfly Rose." This rare Chinese shrub rose, with its light fresh fragrance, enchants with a unique color display: the single flowers open soft amber yellow, elegantly transform to copper pink, and end in a deep crimson red. This dynamic scene of changing shades creates a continuous painting in your garden, as if butterflies are landing and taking off again.
With its graceful, open growth habit and striking bronze-colored young leaves, the ‘Mutabilis’ is a majestic presence that comes into its own as a solitary plant, in a generous border, or as part of an informal hedge. Its abundant bloom from May to October not only attracts the attention of every garden lover but is also a magnet for bees and butterflies. This strong, healthy rose only requires a sunny, sheltered spot to show its full potential.
At Belle Époque Rose Nursery in Aalsmeer, you buy the Rosa ‘Mutabilis’ directly from the grower. With more than 40 years of expertise and a deep passion for rare and historic roses, we guarantee you a healthy, vigorous plant cultivated with love and expertise. Choose the sustainable quality of a family business and bring a touch of mystique and timeless beauty to your garden with this special rose.
