This beautiful rose was blooming in the garden of a friend I visited last week. The petals are multi-colored, thus the name "Joseph's Coat." I caught this one in fully opened form. The major down-side to this rose variety is that the stems, both main and small leaf-bearing, are thickly populated with very sharp thorns. I'd hate to be caught in a thicket of Joseph Coat roses. I understand that this variety is recommended for creating boundry line hedges.

We planted "Joseph's Coat" before in our garden. Yours was really in full bloom and very pretty. Beautiful lighting.
Beautiful rose, Pat... Yes---those thorns can get you sometimes!!! Just ask George since he's the 'keeper' of our roses.
Love that name, Joseph's coat...
Hugs,

Beautiful photo! You take terrific shots!
Indeed, beautiful rose!
Ah, so pretty and it is rose season isn't it. My favorite here is the Robin Hood Rose. It must have a zillion buds on it ready for display. Can't wait.
Thorns or not - beautiful it was!
What a colour. Very beautiful shot.

Your macro shot is awesome. Wonderful colors.
LOve the light that comes through this lovely color! Roses thorns and all are my loves in the garden!
You cannot loose with a lovely rose, with or without thorns! Beautiful photo - the lighting is gorgeous!
Very pretty rose and colouration as well as shape. Thorny roses are a bit of pain to trim down but with blooms like that one could take the inconvenience.
Gorgeous rose, gorgeous photo. love the lighting.

Thorns or no thorns, the rose is so pretty. I love their smell, too.
When 'Joesph's Coat' is on it is a stunning rose. The colors are fantastic. After a few years of taking care of a big rose garden I have many scars. We suit up to go in there now.
Oh, wow, it is a beauty....I looked at roses yesterday and wondered would I have better luck with one now.
Very beautiful photo! Love the colours, very unique.
Great macro. Very pretty. Smiles B
A gorgeous rose and a great photo, the lighting is perfect. Thank you very much for sharing it with Today's Flowers. Thanks also for stopping by my blog. I was at a park today and much to my surprise came across the same bush and white flower I had in my garden so at long last I was able to identify it. It is called a Double European Bird Cherry (Prunus Padus CV Plena).
Oh Pat, that's gorgeous. The colours are so vibrant. Lovely shot.
A great name for a rose. It does look like a special coat. Beautiful photo.
Absolutely stunning! What a gorgeous colour.
What a bright mix of beautiful color! From here, I could care less about the thorns!
I love the name of this beautiful flower.

Almost looks on fire...
so pretty bloom rose and great up close captured.
That is a beautiful rose.
That is a nice name for a Rose! We have roses here in our area but I really do not know much of their names. To me, a rose is a rose. But it's good to learn more especially their own identity just like people.
beautiful close up picture of a rose. i love the color, so vibrant.
Hello Pat,
What a beautiful flower you got here-
one could almost use it as a bed for a Sunday afternoon nap !
I must have said this before but your "avatar" cat is gorgeous - what a wonderful face - dont know should I laught or cry !
What a look !
Beautiful flower even if the stems are prickly.
What a lovely color! This is one I'd enjoy in MY yard ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
Nicely done. The name of this rose conjures up so many images. . .such a beautiful combo of colors too.
