I love the yellow in yours. Do you think this is temp or soil related? Mine has never been anything other than soft pink. Lightening a bit as they age. I do love them, but I would love it even more if I got a few blooms like yours once in a while. You have quite a wonderful photo there! Lisa

Thank you! I can't say what might have affected the color. It was in a pot on a very hot patio in all day full sun. Maybe that did it. Unfortunately it didn't winter for me and I lost it.

Too bad it didn't survive. Mine is in full, hot S CA sun, and I have never seen any yellow at all. Anyway, yours was lovely! Lisa

Yellow in old garden roses is not so unusual, turns out! The best example is Salet, the moss rose, which reliably has a strong yellow flush to the petal bases in the early morning, just after it starts to open. I also noticed many albas tend to have an ivory tone to the fresh buds.

Interesting about Salet. I grow it as well, and I’ll look for that yellow next flush.
