    I also have 2 Grand Finale rose bushes I purchased in 2000. Both plants have problems with cane disease, and grow very tall. I prune them back frequently, to control growth. I live in San Antonio, TX. I also notice the blooms vary from white with red spots to a greenish white with red speckles. Interesting!

    The pink/red speckles may be a mild infestation of  botrytis blight.  Dispose of those blooms before they fall into the garden to keep it from spreading to other roses. Do you notice it clears in the heat of the summer? In most areas it does.


    Best of luck

    Interesting. Yes; I do notice that. It just appeared to be a color variation of the blooms.


    Thanks, again!
