Red rose amongst the white roses-How can this be?
Can you believe this? I'm still marvelling at this miracle of nature-a red rose growing out of a white rose bush?? As Tash says, I must report it! I'll let you know more when I find out.....

How weird. There isnt a body buried underneath & the blood is.....oh, maybe not! Maybe it's a graft?
Here is the answer I found at helpfulgardener.com when someone else reported the same thing.
"It is simply a matter of where on the rose the branch is coming from. If you look carefully you will find the red branch or shoot coming from BELOW the bud union (where the scion (top graft) connected to the root stock (usually an old red rose named 'Dr. Huey')). Not a problem; just prune it out and you'll be fine..."
Make sense? Maybe some roses are grafted onto more reliable varieties at the nursery, so they will be more hardy.
