Now I see why you are all so frustrated, will try this way.

Also, how do you prevent the distortion of photos here? Adding Arethusa:

I’m seeing a lot of the same thing. I think mine is thrips. My outer petals on some roses,(mostly the lighter ones) look dirty. Lisa

Perma join the other thread that Jeri recommended. You will get better response there. Houzz pissed a lot of us . I still can't post anything. I will be joining there also. You will get tons of information.

I won't know about thrips but still learning. So far my experience is only in defiencies.

It is a beautiful rose. Love the look and I think yours is normal . I was looking at pics of that rose and it looks fine to me. It is neither heat or thrips.
