Rosa chinensis 'Mutabilis'
- The Butterfly Rose 
- 8R - $17.50
 
Mutable means changing, and that is what the flowers do.  They open a pale peach-white and darken to a deep cerise-pink.  Can grow 8' to 10' high, and does well against a fence or climbing though taller evergreen shrubs.  I have never had to spray mine for the typical rose diseases.  Grows in full sun.  Looks best if given a deep watering every two weeks during a dry summer. 

(Feed with 3 to 5 Agriform 21-gram, 2-year fertilizer tablets at the bottom of the hole at planting time.)
