I'm not sure that I completely understand your question


I planted a dull pink flowering bush, a red one, and a peach one.
After several years, the colors are all mixed up on the bushes. The
pink one has red and pink flowers, the pink one has red and pink, etc

Aaah, now I see. Not my area of expertise, cross-pollination, etc. so
I will bow out. I do know that some roses will revert back, eg.
a sport like Rosa Mundi (striped rose) may revert back to
the origianl plant (R. gallica officinalis) and vice versa. Sorry
to not be of much help. Maybe someone wiser will chime in. Or
you could visit www.ars.org -- the American rose society web
page.
