Rambling roses problem

Rich77Rich77 Posts: 12

I planted some rambling roses last year. The red one seems to have a dark purple stem. Is this normal? Will the leaves eventually turn green?

    It's normal.  Red flowered roses - and many other plants - often have red tints in their stems and foliage.   Sometimes it stays and sometimes it greens up as the stems and leaves mature.
