we have had the "yellow" version of Maid of Honor for about 12 years. The yellow is really closer to Diamond Jubilee and often reminds one of French Lace. This year I had a single rose which was of the orange bi-color variety among dozens of the yellow versions. The only explaination I could think of was that it was a sport. Perhaps one of the varieties, either the "yellow" or the "orange bi-color" was originally a sport. I have a feeling that perhaps the "orange bi-color" is the sport. After the bush reaches maturity it is not uncommon to have dozens of long stem roses at a time. A couple of years ago we had over 40 long stem blooms at one time. A fantastic cutting rose that provides roses in clusters and long stems all season long. It is the best rose I have ever raised for cut roses. Beautiful form and pleasant fragrance. Sometimes the centers are to the pale orange side and at other times to the pale pink. Just a great, huge rose that acts more like a shrub rose for us than a hybrid tea. Maybe some one more with more knowledge about roses can explain the two varieties.

What happens to Maid of Honor is called a reversion. When a sport plant puts out a flower the same as the original sports parent=in this case it is the orange/yellow Folklore=this is called a reversion. Many sports will do this. There can be as few as only one "other" colored rose on the bush to some that I have seen where half of the bush is the color of the sport and the other is the sport parent. The reversion is because the the sport is termed "unstable".

There is a separate category on HMF for the climbing version of Maid of Honor, and it is listed as an orange blend. Perhaps you could move your photos to that category? Since there aren't any photos of that rose yet, I'm sure they would be appreciated there.
