Rose Country Girl

Flower characteristics:
‘Country Girl’ is a wonderful floribunda rose cultivar with chameleon-like flowers.

The small buds are raspberry-red with a yellow-apricot center when they just start to open. When half open they start to reveal their complex coloring: the base of the upper side of the petals is cream-apricot-yellow which transforms through apricot and pink hues to raspberry-pink; the reverse has similar yet darker coloring.

When the flower is fully open the colors change upon opening to reveal that the colours has changed: the upper side of the outer petals became light buff-cream, changing through cream to pink to raspberry-pink on the edges with apricot shading while the inner petals on the upper side are much lighter, mostly buff-cream changing to cream with just a touch of pink closer to the edges. The reverse of the petals has the same, but a bit darker colouring.

As the flower ages the colours fade, at first the whole flower becomes almost pink, later fades to cream, almost white.
