| I know tulips can have but I'm looking for something other than tulips really as they're my favourite flowers and I'm looking for a flowery gift for my mother-in-law. According to father-in-law she only really likes flowers that have red and yellow petals together, at the same time, lol. Nothing like an awkward woman is there? Thanks in advance guys. |

| Roses are frequently bicolor with red & yellow. Look to Cambridgeshire, Cha Cha, or the beautiful old single rose Austrian Copper. To add frgrance look for Shiela's Perfume, Bella'roma or French Perfume.http://www.galbraithsinc.com/view_rose.asp?rose_id=14http://roses.toytrains1.com/french_perfume.htmThere is a miniature called baby Masquerade for small size. Rio Samba both colors. http://www.rose-roses.com/rosepages/hybridteas/RioSamba.htmlWhat about a rose that not only has red and yellow together but changes the amount of red and yellow as the blossom ages. Color changing has been used to great effect in some roses producing staged color shifts in roses like Joseph Coat, Mutabilis, Masquerade, Double Delight, or Flutterby that begin yellow and shift to cerise tones.Joseph's Coathttp://www.rose-roses.com/rosepages/climbers/JosephsCoat.htmlhttp://www.rose-roses.com/rosepages/climbers/JosephsCoatMore.htmlMasqueradehttp://www.mooseyscountrygarden.com/rose-garden/masquerade-climbing-rose.htmlFor other flowers consider Snapdragons (Antirrhinums) they come in 'Floral Showers' red & yellow Bicolorhttp://vtgcrec.ifas.ufl.edu/images/Snapdr46a.jpgDahlias also have bicolor options.
