looking fro a certain rose variety - 2006/12/21 20:36I'd like to find a joseph tecni color coat rose but I don't know any other name for it it is a varatious rose that seems to take over any where it's planted without careful pruning but I love the beautiful multi color flowers they range from almost purple to pink to white with colored edges peach and yellow just all kinds of colors on one bush and lots of the flowers are multi colored I've checked my local garden supply and houses and and a few catilogs and can't find it is there another name for it or is there a website or place where I can order it? My mother had one but when I asked her where she got it she said she dug it up on a condemned lot uggggg leave it to her to get all her neat plants that way .

re:looking fro a certain rose variety - 2008/06/29 06:10Hey there. I think the rose you are refering to is named 'Joseph's Coat' which was bred in the USA by Armstrong & Swim in 1964. Two companies are currently listing it as available: Nature Hills & Gurney's Seed & Nursery Co. Hope this helps.
