new blooms getting much darker

10 years ago

I am bringing a rose back to health following lots of helpful advice here. It was too dry and too hot, which I have corrected. It is now blooming once again but the blooms are much darker than last year and I wonder if it still needs something from me that I am not providing. Any thoughts?

Dark red? If so it is probably the rootstock variety coming from below the graft.

Can you post a picture? That would make it easier to respond. Many roses show different shades, and sometimes even different colors, depending on the weather.

Pictures will help. Do you know the name of the rose? What color is it? Is it cooler now? A lot of roses will have a deeper color in cooler weather.
