especially on the red roses, I prefer yellow roses.

I've never heard of a whole rose bush having a change in the color of all the blooms on the bush. Have you checked with the horticulturist at the local, Cooperative Extension, or Botanical Gardens, if you have one?

Let us know what you find out. Thanks, for your interesting post.

Is it possible that there are landmines buried in your garden? Shermann Jun 2021 #1

That was interesting! CrispyQ Jun 2021 #8

That sounds like the root stock, which is a deep rose color. vanlassie Jun 2021 #2

No, they're all over. CrispyQ Jun 2021 #4

A lot of roses are grafted. Sounds like the root stock was a red rose. nt Phoenix61 Jun 2021 #3

Thank you. I didn't know about root stock. I'm not much of a gardener. -nt CrispyQ Jun 2021 #5

Had the same problem. I hate to replace it as long as it's healthy. Nt spooky3 Jun 2021 #6

The rootstock is a rose but does not flower with a rose you might recognize as a rose. marble falls Jun 2021 #10
