Our rose bushes are at it again. When we first moved in we had VERY ORANGE roses, WHITE roses, and light pink roses. Over the years our orange roses have been not-as-orange when they first bloom then they fade to pink. I wrote a post about it – Yard Roses. Well, now our once white roses bush that has been yellow for years is now producing BOTH white and yellow roses. We have not done any type of grafting. But the white roses look REALLY white in the sun. But looking at the pictures they seem light pink.
I think it is odd how the roses have changed colors over the years.
It has been years and I still don’t know how to properly care for the roses. They just grow wild. Whenever I want to cut some to bring them in I do. And whenever the bushes start looking really unruly I hack them down. The last time they got a good hacking my husband had done it. I always have a fear that they won’t come back from such a drastic cutback, but they do.
Here are some pictures of the white and yellow rose bush. Do you see the photo bomber in three of the pictures?
Do you have roses in your yard?
