Like the Rainbow Knock Out, Happy Trails grows in zone 4 and warmer, up to zone 10. Rainbow Happy Trails rose (Rosa ‘WEKsurdicla’ the extra capitalization is apparently part of the name) is a groundcover that grows to about 20 inches in height. If more of the plant turns bright red or magenta, remove it and plant a healthy rose next year. If the foliage turns magenta, along with the stems, immediately cut away the magenta portion (cutting into the green portions of the plant).This coloration is a sign that the rose rosette disease has attacked the plant. Keep a close eye on the foliage it starts out as burgundy and becomes green as it grows. In regions with harsher winters, prune again as winter sets in, cutting the plant back to a few inches above the ground. Prune once in late winter or early spring, back to about a foot to a foot and a half, when new growth appears to keep the bush’s shape as it grows again during the season. Give these roses at least three hours of direct sunlight each day six to eight hours is preferable. Grow in USDA plant hardiness zones 4 and warmer. The plant blooms again and again from spring until fall and is very tough. It is tough and self-cleaning, although you can still deadhead it if you wish to avoid having rose hips appear. Like other Knock Out-series roses, Rainbow grows to 3 to 4 feet in height and width. The Rainbow Knock Out rose is a five-petaled single-bloom rose that is mostly pink with a yellow tinge toward the center of each blossom. Search online for multi-colored roses for even more examples.

Another gorgeous variety is the ‘Joseph’s Coat’ climbing rose that has blooms with yellow, scarlet, orange, and carmine colors colors.
