Rosa Mutabilis. Because nonchalance is fabulous in your garden, too.
Allure is about danger, sharp intelligence, imagination, power - with a gentle side - and good legs. One would not necessarily want to live with such a person - the spirit being more sexy than the body.
- Sir Philip Dowson
I would even go so far as to call the Rosa Mutabilis the MILF of all roses. No girlishness here. It´s a grown-up rose, the equivalent to tousled hair and laughter lines. Slightly disheveled looking from the start, its colours change from yellow to apricot to pink. It´s intriguing.
If this rose was a woman, it would be Hanna Schygulla. Or Charlotte Rampling. More Romy Schneider in La Piscine than Jane and her youthful attitude. A certain weariness can be incredibly alluring.
The Rosa Mutabilis requires exquisite yet weathered garden furniture. French garden furniture is what you are looking for.

The Rosa Mutabilis femme is a mysterious being. She loves japanese screens, tête-à-tête banquettes and sunsets. Her garden looks like a Paris backyard and combines bamboo, japanese maples and roses and can be seen through the panoramic window of her atelier like a stage. In the twilight hours she walks outside, wrapped in her lovers shirt, to have a drink.
You don´t dress in your glad rags for this rose. A vintage army jacket and faded jeans will work just fine. The jeans are optional, of course. Your grandmothers´ gold bracelet is not. This is a rose for a woman who wears her wedding band on a thin gold chain around her neck.
This is a late-night-party rose, so drink the leftovers and share your last cigarette and an illicit kiss with someone you adore.
