Rosa x odorata 'Mutabilis' (China)
- Loved by Pollinators
- Scented
A classic China rose which flowers on and off for six months
This rose is supplied as an A grade bare root, however the form is wispier than you would expect of most classic shrub roses. These roses are not at all stiff or formal like which adds to their appeal in the border when established. The roots will easily establish into large informal shrub rose over 3 years.
All rose petals are edible. As you might expect, they have a mild, floral taste and can be used to decorate cakes, puddings or baking. They are also a beautiful, scented addition to jugs of iced cordial or summer cocktails.
This can be gift wrapped in our exclusive hessian sack, with ribbon and a Sarah Raven gift card. You will be able to add this to your basket once you begin the checkout process. To add a gift message to your order, simply fill out the details at the delivery stage of the checkout.
Please note: only items which are showing ‘in stock’ can be gift wrapped.
On occasion we may need to send you an alternative variety to the one shown, which will be selected by our growing team to ensure its suitability. It will be of equal or greater value to the original. Please contact our customer service team if there are any problems.
