Why Has My White Rose Suddenly Changed To Pink?
This Summer, l bought a rose at the garden centre. You know me, l always go for the bargains there.
I bought a rose that was normally £15 reduced to £3. It hadn’t got got a label and didn’t state the type of rose or the colour.
I waited excitedly for it to bloom and was surprised when it had creamy white flowers.
The other day, l cut all the dead white roses off and there was one rose bud left.
Today, l looked and the rose that is emerging is pink! I did a double take and wondered if l was looking at Queen Elizabeth a pink rose that is next to it. No, it was definitely the white rose.
How can this be? Can roses change colour?
