Thank you both for your kind answers. I didn't know enough about roses
to know any of this. I didn't know what rootstock was.
It was planted right next to the house in the back, very near the
foundation. In the front it's by the mailbox and near an oasis of trees
and oakleaf hydrangeas. It continues to be pink and pink-ish. Thanks
again for your help!

You're welcome. I agree with Martin's assessment
that since you moved the rose from a more alkaline soil
to a more acidic one, that could well have affected
the color.

If you're inclined to put in more roses, I'd highly
recommend the Ortho series, All About Roses,
easy to find at home improvement stores &
bookstores, and not expensive. Even used copies
have good information.
