I have had this rose for two years, and it will only bloom in bright, deep red. Is there any type of fertilzer or other treatment you recommend to return it to its true color?

Sometimes roses are labelled incorrectly. Monet should be a shaded apricot so if the rose you have is blooming red then it isn't a Monet. The other possibility is that the under stock has taken over as it is often a red colour but the flowers will be small.

If she's looking for the apricot blend 'Monet', it's been renamed 'Grand Impression' (hypidizer's code JAClion)...I think it was renamed the year after it was introduced.
If she's looking for the one that remained named 'Monet', then it's a mauve blend rose that has a very old-fashioned form and an intense fragrance.
The problem is that with Vintage Gardens' demise, 'Monet' seems to be out of commerce. Great Western is not in Pomona but in Surprise, AZ, and they're looking for it for me...but so far no luck.

Jennifer,
Most likely you have a rose mis-marked as Monet. This happens quite frequently with a rose such as this, which can only be purchased from discount mail order companies. Next time you have the opportunity to purchase this, buy a few of them so you end up with a correct version.

How large is the bloom? Is "blooms so large branches bend down with their weight" accurate or just hyperbole? That was a description I foun on the label on a waxed 5&10 plant.

I have two of these rose bushes, and the blooms are large. They are approximately 3" diameter, and there are multiple blooms on a stem, between 3 and 5. The lower branches on my bush do bend down, but primary central branches remain strong. It is a beautiful large bloom and very fragrant.
