Default A rose by any other colour...

My guess - acid in the soil is higher. Some plants are blue to pink,
lime to acid. Maybe this rose and others were living in a cement lime
area and are yellow. Moved out front, get Rose food or acid from trees
or other plant food/nature and turns pink.

Can you say what you did when you planted it ?
Is it next to or under anything ? Oak tree ?

There was a yellow rose planted behind my new house when I bought it
last year. The woman next door said it had been there for years,
probably ten. I replanted it in the front yard. The blooms are now
pink. I know this sounds bizarre. Is this possible? What happened?
