Color Magic Rose - D2X-5-03-12DSC_1635_2363
Hybrid Tea rose Color Magic. Captured in the garden. Very fragant rose.
The following provides a very good description of the different color combinations of this rose. The particular color combo in my photo is the most beautiful! I have many other photos of this rose that are beautiful but plain looking color wise. Depending on the weather, water, feeding and who knows what else the rose decides how it wants to use and mix its internal magenta and yellow colors,
Here is one of my photos that shows off a splendid magenta color of this cameleon rose...

"What everyone can agree on is that this is a highly variable rose. There seems to be much disagreement on how to describe its color. In some photos it is a magenta pink and yellow bicolor. In other photos it is a pink and coral bicolor. In still others it is virtually a red and white bicolor. It evidently has four separate color processes; two magenta and two yellow. And each process can run independently. If one has a strong idea of how this rose ought to look one will probably be disappointed. If, on the other hand, one is willing to try it as a novelty and accept the results, it is likely to please greatly. It is said to be a pretty good grower and it produces flowers with good continuity. Sometimes they are nicely fragrant."

‘Color Magic’ is labeled in the ARS book as a pink blend hybrid tea rose. The unique shade of soft salmon shaded to blush pink with a ribbon of deep pink at the edges varies on every bloom on the bush.. Some of the mildly fruity fragrant blooms are as big as dinner plates with 26-40 petals. It is a tall bush and may reach 5-5½ feet. Introduced in the US in 1978 by Jackson & Perkins, it was hybridized by William A. Warriner from parentage seedling x ‘Spellbinder’. It has a 7.8 ARS rating. ‘Color Magic’ was the All American Rose Selection in 1978.
