My beautiful deep pink rose has got paler and paler over the last few weeks until it has turned white! is this due to the lack of rain recently and will it return to it's original glory? sorry I have no idea what it is called. thanks

    I had a rose that got very pale.
    When I removed the other plants in the container and gave it a feed, it went back to normal.
    Maybe yours is hungry.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    @Meomye A lot of rose blooms do turn paler as they age.
    If it's a new rose it should be watered in dry weather and containerised ones every day.

    Thanks for replies, it is in planted in the ground and being watered but I have not been feeding it because I was advised not to feed after June? It is usually one of my prettiest bloomers. I wonder what colour the next flush will be!

    @Meomye it could be the hot weather and the sun bleaching it. Mine are going over quickly with the sun.

    I have white cosmos that are turning pale pink. I put it down to the extreme heat.
