Bought and planted this beauty at the start of spring, what was listed as a Snow Fire. I love the roses with reverse coloring, and thought this would be a red with white reverse. First bud opened today and this is what I found upon coming home from work today. I'm not complaining, I think the red and white speckles are just as gorgeous, however, not what I had been expecting.

I've seen most of these with the bold reverse coloring, some that are all red, some that are nearly all red with just the slightest bit of white to offset the red, but have yet to see any with this speckling. Has anyone else seen this red and white speckling with the Snow Fire rose? I have two, and the other bush is about to bloom open and looks much the same. Just curious :)

Regards,

Alicia
