Not sure that I was absolutely clear there - I meant that the new blooms will be the correct colour - I'm not sure that the spotted ones can change. But the pink buds will probably open to white if it stays dry.
A friend that is a great rose grower told me once if the rose is stressed it will change colour.The Mary rose she had should be white but on the same plant it had pink flowers as well, it flowered white the next year.
I don't know if it's due to too much rain because I'm having the same issue but it hasn't rained here in a couple of months. It has been sunny and warm. I think it's a chemical balance ordeal. Acidity I believe. Fertilizer? Bad soil? Climate change? Last year my Sugar Moon was pure bright white until the last pedal fell off. This year they all have pink spots all over.

I have a white rose that is doing the exact same thing, except its a spotting of pink. I also have a yellow rose spotted pink as well.
I can only put this down to the unusual weather unless anyone else has more experience with this?
It's generally due to rain. When we get some dry weather and sunshine, they will revert to pure white, or whatever their original colour.
Thanks Alina W
Fingers crossed for some sunshine then
Thank you
