Here in Texas near the Gulf coast, Kathleen forms a large rather free-form shrub that blooms repeatedly from spring on into early winter. The multitude of little blooms form long sprays at the ends of long flexible canes. Mine is nearly always in bloom, however I have not seen the color change described above. They stay a light pink, with whiter centers.

Noted by
Antique Rose Emporium:
"Single roses blooming in sprays of three distinct colors ranging from soft apple-pink to a dusty rose decorate this open bush that can reach 5 feet or more. This leads many to think it may be a seedling of Mutabilis. We can easily overlook its lack of fragrance because of its continual bloom and delicate, yet healthy foliage."
