Well, Joseph's Coat is a mixed yellow orange and blooms nicely. Hardy in zone 5. We have waited many years to offer virus-free, virus-indexed plants of 'Joseph's Coat', the most strikingly colorful of all climbing roses. I can remember almost 30 years ago it was my uncle's (a lover of roses) favorite. Large trusses of medium sized, semi-double blooms of cherry-red, overlaid, shaded and blended with gold. They open to show rich, deep golden centers. A color combination that will catch your eye the minute you enter your garden. Moderately fragrant. An upright plant with dark-green, glossy foliage. May be grown as a free standing shrub, pillar or climbing rose. Makes a wonderful tall hedge. Very vigorous and easy to grow even in inferior soil. Very disease resistant, continual blooming and hardy zones 5-10, 12+ petals.
