Multicoloured Rose? 31 May 2010 at 4:13PM edited 30 November -1 at 1:00AM in Greenfingered MoneySaving 4 replies 629 views

About a week ago, my rose flowered. The flowers were pale yellow. They are now beginning to look a little limp. Today, there was a second flowering. These flowers are smaller, and almost orange in colour. Is it possible for a rose to have flowers of more than one colour, or do I have two rose bushes intertwined?
Thanks

Do you know the name of the rose? .. could you post a pic of it?

Sometimes it can happen that you get a different colour on the first flush ..

Or it could be a sucker .. to check this follow the stem to the bottom if its coming from the graft area then its o.k .. if its coming below this then its a sucker and needs to be removed...

There a few multicoloured roses that have more than 1 colour

as for 2 roses intertwined i don't think so .. most roses are just a single graft

No idea what it's called - been there for years, and I don't recall seeing this before.

Wow how lovely .. .. I have just brought this rose . Thanks for the pic

Its Gardenia rose - It buds up as apricot and slowly fades to a soft cream. It's also a rambler
