From Week's site and Google patent:  Parentage: Playboy x seedling derivative of Rosa soulieana


Mutabalis isnt listed as a parent anywhere.


 


 


From the Colonial District Rose Society:


"Flutterbye was introduced in 1999 and is classified as a yellow blend shrub. Tom Caruth, who has been very successful introducing many new roses, hybridized it. Flutterbye was a cross of Playboy with another rose that was from a cross of Sunsprite x Rosa soulieana derivative. The blooms have approximately 6 petals. It is an interesting rose bush as the colors of the blooms change color as they open and age. Initially the blooms are yellow with a yellow center or eye and yellow stamens. The blooms then change to yellow with a red edge, and some have a light orange shade to them. It is a very pretty bush in the garden, and it an excellent landscape rose. Our only problem was that it was a little winter tender and had to have more protection than Playboy. "

 I put Cl. Flutterbye in four years ago. It gives  the most cheerful, multicolored bouquets endlessly and the fragrance is spicy/sweet.   It gets morning sun & dappled shade and is pruned badly with an ax or something but it always forgives me.  I've never seen anything but tender red and green leaves -- no disease of any kind, ever.   It's November and I'm still getting random blooms. Longest canes are 10 feet and want to be longer next year.  This is plant that changed my mind about roses!!
