I have a double flowered confederate rose I got from a friend a couple years ago as a cutting - It's blooming well this year, but my flowers are staring off light pink and turning dark pink, but never white.

Does anyone know why they wouldn't be starting white? Could it be the temperatures (in the mid to high 80's during the day)? Or something lacking in their nutrition?

Any advice would be appreciated.

thanks,
