I'm seeing the same thing, jjk. My Arcadia is paler now too, while many others are darker.

I’m glad to hear that this is a trait of the rose and not just a zonal influence!

Its interesting, I wonder if this is customary for teas? It would be interesting to know if other teas are less intense in fall...

No, jjk, I am seeing just the opposite. Very rich, saturated colors in the Fall.

They are truly amazing flowers the teas...my ALT is always that pale, but is still young too. :-)

October always seems to be a good month for rich color on roses. Seems to me they like the chilled air. I suppose ALT is the exception...

To me ALT was more pink in the summer and now it’s a shell pink to powder white now in the fall.

Just reminds me how each rose has its own unique personality!
