Is it normal to have 2 different colours on the same rose bush?

    Yes it can be, reaction to changing temperatures might mean different rose blooms are shades of say, yellow/apricot/pink or a mix on the same bloom, or do you mean completely different, as in white roses on a stem coming from the base of the rose? The latter might be a sucker from the rootstock. Can you post some pictures?

    Pink and Apricot is exactly what it is, its not a sucker, It does get them but i cut them off, they usually have different coloured foliage as well .... it looks nice I'm glad ....

    Yes suckers are pretty distinctive and easy to spot aren’t they? Enjoy your rose and all it’s colours 😊
