Do rose blossoms come in two colors?
Can you help me? I need to know are all rose blossoms mono-colored? Do any
rose blossoms come in two colors? Any species of rose? If so, which one? Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thank you for your time. Sincerely yours, Rick Logan (Primary) (Secondary) |

Do rose blossoms come in two colors?
How do you mean two colors?
There are roses with red on the inside of the bloom with a white reverse, "Double Delight" comes to mind as well as "Love". There are blooms with stripes, blooms with a gradation of color on the petals. Some go through a color shift or change as they open and mature. Others have 'eyes', where the center is different than the outer portion of the petals. Are you looking for something specific in a color combination? Perhaps a wager with someone?

My one and only rose has medium sized bright red flowers with the outer row
of petals being almost black with a lacey effect. Guess that is why I keep it around. Jim "Tim Tompkins" wrote in message ... How do you mean two colors?

I call it Old Buddy. The neighbors calls it a stickery SOB. The grand kids won't get near it and call it Old Meany. It came into being a couple or three generations ago and I do not know the source although it may have come here in a steamer trunk from Ireland. When we moved to a new home I just sliced into the root with a shovel and stuffed the chunk in a bucket where it wintered. I do not have a picture of it. The first setting of flowers has very pronounced black lacey weave in the outer row of petals and as the season progresses the black seems to become less pronounced until in the fall the flowers are just red and not nearly so brilliant. The folks at the garden club just sort of snort and go back to muttering about whatever those types mutter about. So no help there. The neighbor ladies always want one of the early flowers and I tell them to help themselves. Seldom do they get one as the thorns do a great defensive job. One old crone comes each spring and never says a word. Just pulls on her leather gauntlets and hacks off a flower and grins real big and wanders back home. She also occasionally leaves a large pail of raspberries in the garage and still without saying a word. My grandmother and then my father fell in love with this rose and I guess it just sort of rubbed off on me. Just some the Irish nostalgia I guess. I really need to get a camera. Just sold a Canon Elan II that I wasn't smart enough to operate. Been looking at a couple of digital cameras but haven't splurged yet. Take care and keep the pretty side up (er, on the flowers too).

Thank you for your time. Sincerely yours, Rick Logan (Primary) (Secondary) I have over 135 roses, few repeats, and *very* few with single-colored blooms. Rose blooms come striped (2 or 3 colors), they come with different colors on the different sides of the petals, and so on. Many rose blooms change color as they age. If you want to find specific color combinations, go to this web site and do a Custom Search of their rose lists on color(s): http://www.helpmefind.com/sites/rrr/rosetest.html They even list the possible colors and all you have to do is check a box or boxes. There are way too many roses for anyone here to list all possibilities of bi-colored & multi-colored roses. Gail San Antonio TX Zone 8 |

"Cass" wrote in message .. . Does it look like this: http://www.rosefog.us/Roseoftheday/ThorOct02.jpg Why, yes, it does look quite similar to the photo although most of the black is on the outer petals. The blooms coming on now are not so distinct so can't give a real comparison. The photo is very close though but without the pinkish tinges near the center (or perhaps that is just the lighting).

It's almost like the plant does it's best to please at first and then just teases along so I'll water and feed it. Jim |

Do rose blossoms come in two colors?
Rick,
Admittedly, I'm a newbie to growing roses, and I'll be lucky to ever learn as much as some people who post have forgotten, as the saying goes -- but I almost think your question should the converse: "Are all rose blossoms multi-colored?" Some roses are obviously multi-colored, like Double Delight, which to me resembles vanilla ice cream dipped in raspberry sauce! Others are different shades of the same color family (somebody help me out here, my descriptive powers are failing!) Then, there are roses like Queen Elizabeth -- a visiting friend ID'd that one for me right away. She pointed out the growth habit, number of petals, etc. but the thing that struck me was that QE is pink....... pink as a bud, pink when open, the same color from the center to the outside. (At least mine is, maybe it's supposed to be different, but don't rain on my parade by telling me that, folks!) BTW, I'm really curious -- why did you ask in the first place?

The pink toward the center is a reflection. Here's the deal on this rose: early in the season, mine is quite rosey red with a wild white stripe every once in a while: http://www.rosefog.us/imagesJtoZ/UnknownRedCl.jpg Then as the season progresses, they get darker and larger, up to 5 or 6 inches across, like the first bloom shot in October. How about scent? Does Old Meany have scent? This rose has a vague smell of raspberries. |

Today a new bloom came on full and has 3-4 petals with tiny white places on them. I sure hope it isn't mutating. Jim |

Today a new bloom came on full and has 3-4 petals with tiny white places on them. I sure hope it isn't mutating. The red rose for which I've posted pictures has those tiny white stripes. Sounds like they are pretty similar. The name of my rose might be Thor, though there is some question about the identification. It came as an unidentified rose and causes a stir where ever it goes. Short, stuffy stems, but still, it's wonderful in the vase and lasts forever. -- Cass |
