John F. Kennedy hybrid rose

Romeoville, IL

My "pure white" John F. Kennedy has begun having red flecks on them as if bleeding? Why is this?. Does it have anything to do with having planted a red rose (Oklahoma Rose) next to it?

Some "all white" roses will develop pink or red spots (or streaks) on the petals as the flowers age and/or as temperatures get cooler.
Highly unlikely that your red Oklahoma rose next to it has anything to do with it.

Are you 100% certain that you got an authentic John F. Kennedy rose from a reputable grower ?
