Josephs Coat Rose

A Dazzling Variegated Climbing Rose


The Josephs Coat rose, a wonderful small climbing rose, was introduced in 1964 and was awarded the Bagatelle Gold Medal the same year.

If you are looking for climbing roses that will put on a colorful show, this rose is the one to pick.

This rose is easy to fit into any climbing situation. The picture below shows this rose framing the gates to the front garden, but it's just as easy to train it up and around a porch. You might need two roses, plant one on each side and wind them over the porch to meet in the middle.

This plant has bright green beautiful foilage. The stems are quite thorny, so be careful when pruning this rose and use strong leather gloves.

The 'Josephs Coat' is tough and durable, however I do not recommend it for foggy coastal areas or humid climate zones, as it can be susceptible to mildew under those conditions.

This picture of the 'Josephs Coat' climber shows it trained horizontally on a fence. The rose was planted the year before, so this is the first season it's putting on a show. Next year, watch out!

The smaller more contained growth of this rose, makes it so adaptable to many garden situations, especially the smaller gardens.

The repeat blooming flowers are quite distinctive, with blooms in bright colors from orange, yellow, red and pink. All of these colors will appear in one showy cluster. It's a really beautiful display of flowers. There is a light and fruity rose fragrance.

'Josephs Coat' rose is also an ideal choice for a boundary or property line planting. Just weave the canes between the slats of a fence horizontally. You can be sure that everyone will admire it's bright and spectacular beauty.

Climbing roses should not be pruned during the first two years. However trim off the spent blooms as they fade to encourage more blooms.

Check my information on the proper way to prune climbing roses under climbing roses. Zone 4-9, height 8-10 feet.
