Default Bi-colored shrub roses?

Gail, when I GOOGLED Grootendorst there were many shades of pink, I
think much was due to cameras and other factors in the photo rendering.
Or, is there that much variation in that cultivar.

Cameras & lighting, photo reproduction, sure,
but also cultural differences - time of year,
weather (cold, hot, dry, wet), even bloom age
(some blooms change color as they age - think
Mutabilis) can have some influence on bloom
color. Some varieties seem to have the same
color(s) no matter what; other varieties seem
to have a great deal of variation. I don't have a
Pink Grootendorst, so no personal experience.

Ain't roses wonderful?
