why do my roses change colours,is it from the bees?

Answer 1

Could be cross-pollination from the bees and they are becoming hybrids.

Answer 2

The most common cause is likely soil change.

If you have varied the soil by adding fertilizers, house products or even used a new mulch, the different chemical properties that seep into the soil initially or from subsequent breakdown of the mulch, can easily affect the colour and health of your plant.

Chemicals also interact with those that were already in the ground, and those results are unpredictable without an exact analysis.

You can visit your local grower and ask for a device to test the Ph of the soil, (acid/base ratio) as this will be a large factor, and you might ask them if they can examine a sample of the soil to determine what you should do.

Answer 3

Perhaps you have the Rose by the name Confederate Rose. They change color with age. I believe they change white to pink. Hope this idea helps. Check it out on the web.

Answer 4

Make up in soil. Want to make a rose darker. Put some steele nails around the roots. Its the chemical make up of the soil. Experiment, you might come up with a new one.

Answer 5

I have that problem too. I had a tropicana (orange) rose and this past year when it bloomed , it bloomed hot pink.
I think maybe the original rose froze last winter and the plant returned to it's original hybrid state.

Answer 6

Call_e is correct. Roses love (used) coffee grounds and MiracleGro. good luck

Answer 7

IT HAS TO DO WITH THE PLANT BEING GRAFTED WITH ANOTHER COLOR TO CREATE A CERTAIN COLOR. THE GRAFT COULD HAVE DIED OR MAYBE TAKEN OVER. GRAFTED ROSES WILL GO BACK TO THE MAIN COLOR AFTER A FEW YEARS.
