Could this be a Pam's Choice Sport?

3 years ago

I'm always seeing sports on my roses that turn out to be color variations due to weather or other factors. Here's another one that's giving me pause--I spotted this bloom on Pam's Choice today that's much smaller than the typical bloom with different coloration:

Here is the same bloom next to a more typical bud (showing the typical combination of tan, yellow, mauve and pink) that I bent over to be in the same shot:

Here is the cane that the suspect bloom is on, emerging from the base of the plant:

What do you think?

From the pictures of this rose on HMF, it appears to have widely variable colors. If you go to the second page of photos, and click on the top pic on the left side, it shows blooms exactly like the one you posted. So, since this rose is so variable, I would guess it is not a sport, but just the rose being different all of the time.

I expect this is within the broad range of color variations this rose can generate. Weather does indeed have a significant effect on how its blooms appear.

Okay, thank you, I'll temper my expectations on this one. Scrolling through HMF, I realized a good portion of the pictures of mine, so I hope I'm not one of those people posting too many pictures of the same bush.

IMO, there can never be too many pictures on HMF, especially those of an entire bush, and not just one bloom.
