Old-fashioned roses by definition are good xeriscape plants. They have survived for generations with minimal care. Most bloom better with one deep watering every month in the summer, but some, like the butterfly rose, will bloom all season without supplemental watering. Also called mutabilis, it is especially impressive, 7 feet tall and 4 feet wide, with its flowers in December. The simple flowers are silver-dollar-size. They begin as yellow, evolve through apricot, to finish as pink.
The 'Belinda's Dream' rose is even better (showier and fragrant) than even the butterfly rose. See it at:
