Fruity bi-color Joseph’s Coat is a modern, Climbing Rose valued for its uniquely colorful blooms. Your Joseph’s Coat (Rosa ‘Joseph’s Coat’) is one of the most popular Climbing Roses available today. The blooms start out as cheerful red buds, then soon bloom into a kaleidoscope of color! As the 3-4 inch blossoms develop, you’ll be treated to a delightful blend of golden oranges and buttery yellows, intermixed with flame-touched edges.
It’s a multi-toned symphony of floral brilliance that is sure to leave you and your neighbors dazzled! Joseph’s Coat grows in an upright nature, its glossy, dark green leaves nicely filling out its form. The canes are flexible enough to make training them relatively easy and pruning is likewise a simple matter. You’ll snip bountiful bouquets of bi-color blossoms and still have more to feed the many pollinators that this Rose attracts!
Pest and disease resistant, your Joseph’s Coat is also tolerant of a variety of conditions. Joseph’s Coat Climbing Rose is a repeat bloomer, gracing your yard with lightly fragrant, semi-double flowers from late spring up until early fall. The blooms even do well as cut flowers, so you can bring a few inside as well! Hardy throughout steamy and humid USDA growing zones 6 through 10, and grows fast to an 8 to 12-foot tall dense clump of foliage that grows 6 through 8 feet in width.
Planting and Application:
Imagine one of these covering a fence in your yard or gracing a decorative arbor. With a little determination, you can even train your Joseph’s Coat into a small shrub to accent your perennial bed. Create a Rose-festooned arbor, or tall, skinny Rose pillar as an accent for a year-round structure! You can also include these on a fenceline to hide an eyesore or become a vivid backdrop to your garden beds and borders!
Install a six-foot trellis around your pool and train Joseph’s Coat Rose for fun, light-hearted “living wallpaper” and walls around “outdoor rooms”! Imagine the pretty privacy and screening! You’ll have carved out a special place throughout your landscape! Even grown up a trellis or trained up the sides of your porch, patio, deck, or gazebo, this Climbing Rose will provide shade and privacy! On apartment balconies, grow them in large containers to train up along a modular trellis system.
Tie this vigorous Climbing Rose to a sturdy trellis and fencing for an incredible privacy screen or garden decoration. Everyone wants a private pool deck, but nobody wants to sacrifice their spot in the sun! On steep slopes, use Climbing Roses as a gorgeous groundcover planting! Plant them six to eight feet apart on center, and spread the canes out in a fan shape to ramble and scramble down your hill.

Tips for Care:
Choose a sunny planting site that receives at least six hours of sunlight a day. Climbing Roses need good air circulation, sturdy support structures and well-drained soil. Don’t forget the Nature Hills Root Booster, to give this fragrant Rose life-long support when used during planting. Provide a location with good air circulation and organically enriched well-drained soil and fertilize regularly with a good quality slow-release Rose fertilizer.
How to Train Climbing Roses
Pruning should not be done during the first two years, since Climbing Roses need time to build flowering Rose canes.
- Select several canes to become the structural foundation of your beautiful Climbing Rose. The structural canes will grow thick for several years before you replace them.
- Horizontal branches produce the most flowers, so tie the secondary canes at 90 to 45-degree angles. Use stretchy landscape ties, strips from old t-shirts, or old pantyhose to loop around the cane and your support. Check them yearly.
- Prune Roses in early spring to remove any dead or damaged branches. Cut your secondary canes down to 6 – 8 inches above a bud, but keep your structural support canes in place.
- Rejuvenate the structural canes every three years. Because Climbing Roses bloom on last year’s canes, you’ll wait until the first flush of flowers are finished.
- Trim the thick old structural canes out at ground level at that time. Then, select a new set of canes to become your structural support.
