Default Strange rose flower mystery ... (or is this common?)

in my backyard i have a yellow rosebush, and to the right of it a pink
rosebush ... they were here when i moved in 3 years ago.

I don't know how long this phenomenon has been happening, but this year i
noticed that some -- not many, just a few, of the yellow roses were getting
pink bits on them, mostly speckles .....

I asked a few people but they weren't sure what might be happening so I'm
just wondering if anybody here might be able to shed some light on it?


Have a look for aphids. I've seen buds get pink spots from aphid damage
(well, I think that's what it is).

Been absent a while -- optus has been having newsgroup problems.
