| I think so, too. There's a rose that has red and white bloom, with the occasional bicolored, stripee, or pink one. It's called Fortune's Five-Colored Rose," but that's not it. The blooms are smaller and the bush is bushier. |

| One of my roses has pink blooms and white blooms this year. Mrs pj thought they were turning color after being open for a certain amount of time, but there are two blooms right next to each other that are open the same amount. I've never seen that before. They are coming off the same stalk. And I can guarantee you it's not a graft.

| Do you know anything about the rose? China roses and later hybrids with china rose ancestry darken with age. It happens pretty fast under certain conditions, so two roses that look the same could be in different stages of the process. |

| I've got a Mutabilis rose like this one. It's a china rose. The blooms open yellow and pass through peach and pink on the way to magenta.  |

| It is gone now, but a acquaintance had an old grafted dogwood tree. It was mature and equally divided with white and pink blooms..Stunning

No. It’s at my MIL’s house. She asked her gardeners to put something flowering in the space and this is what she got.

| That looks like a "tree rose," which I think just means that the flowering part was grafted onto a nonflowering trunk. Here's an ad for a tree rose that was grafted to bloom in two colors. I bet that's what it is. It looks like maybe this was planted recently, since it's not very big? If so, take a picture for us after it gets a little bigger! https://www.directgardening.co...ree-rose#/quantity-1 |
