(Chinas) A Peter Beales Roses introduction and unique to us in the UK, this captivating seedling of the celebrated Mutabilis shares much of its parent's free-flowering, butterfly-like charm across an exceptionally long season from June through to November. Soft yellow blooms fade gracefully to cream as they age, creating that same enchanting mosaic of shifting tones, with a delicate light fragrance to complement the display.
