Red double KO is pink, eventually looks white!

What is wrong with my KO roses? They have been coming in more of a pink and then they fade to white, almost as if they are bleached out by the sun. I have been getting just a few red ones here and there, but for the most part they are not coming in true to form. I just put these in a few months ago. Should I have fertilized them already. I thought that I was suppose to wait until the fall to do any fertilization, but what do I know? They are in clay soil, facing south, in zone 7b. They are mulched and receive water through a sprinkler system in my beds. I did recently apply some bayer all in one because I noticed some beetle holes in the hydrangeas that are nearby, and wanted to be proactive. Actually, now that I think about it, the red has just started to reappear after the all in one. So maybe a nutrient deficiency?
