Hi I took some cuttings of my the rose "Blue For You" and some are producing different coloured flowers to the original. I thought this was impossible
. Any comments would be much appreciated. Thanks. ps it's not a soil thing as I have some in pots. I include original and cutting.

they look pretty similar to me.
The flower form is the same. Flower colour can vary somewhat according to the exact growing conditions, especially the amount of sunshine it gets.
Thanks for the replies..... the plants are 2' away from each other. I thought cuttings are exact "clones" of the donor plant. There is a huge difference in colour....... my iPad's camera isn't up to much I'm afraid.
Hungry roses can fade a bit.
