I found a large bushy rose growing in a ditch by a parking lot (near some other unkempt cultivated plants (cannas, tree aloe, bush aster). The rose bush was about 5x5x5 ft, maybe taller, with small canes with few to no thorns and small serrated leaves in sets of seven. Flowers were about 1.5 in diameter, in bunches of 10 or so, double, maybe 40 petals each, large yellow stamens. When I first noticed the flowers on May 19, they were all white. When I saw them again today, June 29, the flowers had partially turned pink. Any ideas what this might be? Location is Marin County, CA

Possibly 'Iceberg'? I seem to recall reading that 'Iceberg' is widely planted in CA in commercial settings.

I think we'd be struggling without photos. It will help if you can take a photo of the whole bush, one of flower/s, a side view of a bud, side view of prickles, photo of leaves, hips if any. Is it still flowering now?
When you go back in to your post, it will have developed a button to Add Photos.

I tried to add photos, not sure if it worked. I’m on mobile, I’ll try again later from laptop. Thanks

It does look similar to Iceberg, but I see no mention of the distinct pink fade.

I don't grow 'Iceberg', but perhaps someone who does grow it in Northern CA or elsewhere can speak to whether it sometimes ages to pink.
I know that 'Iceberg' can sport sometimes, but that doesn't sound like what you're describing.
