Outside my bedroom window I had some lovely large cream colored roses..Now all a sudden the roses are a completely different colour? It is far away from my other coloured rosebushes.
I still love them but, what a surprise.

Loreli has hit it right.... you're probably seeing roses on canes that come from below the graft on your rose bush.... your cream rose was likely grafted to a hardy root stock to make it stronger .... sometimes the root stock sends out a shoot and if we don't cut it off, and it continues to grow, then we see a completely different bloom , and stem and leaves on our plant..... the sad part is that once this happens, the root stock will eventually take over andyou'll lose the cream rose completely, as the root stock will get all the food and water first.....
if you still get cream roses, then you should cut off all the stems that have the different rose ... all the way to the bottom of the plant.... learn to recognise the 'odd' shoots as they form and cut them off before they grow very big.....

Your rose bush is official love struck, head over heels, haha
A bird or sumthing has probably pooped some seeds onto your white roses, also if u moved recently it could also be that there were pink roses already planted before hand.

Sometimes roses are cloned on to rootstock of a different rose and the plant reverts to the original rose.

plants often change color due to the elements in the soil..
like nitrogen etc.

its got to do with the PH of the soil and mineral content
