Question for any HMFers you may have purchased the Welcome Home yellow hybrid tea rose from Jackson & Perkins. While my rose hasn't yet fully bloomed, the buds appear red to pink. Has anyone else out there with Welcome Home experienced something similarly odd (i.e., a supposedly yellow rose having red to pink buds)? I'm suspect that J&P may have shipped me the wrong rose !

Thanks for any insight anyone can provide.

Jim

It is not so unusual for yellow or white roses to show a dark colour when in bud, 'Peace' for example does this.

Thanks very much Andrew.

I'll remain patient and see if the bloom opens to a color shade more expected.

Regards,

Jim

I live in the inland Northwest and am trying to decide on a solid, dependable classic yellow hybrid tea for the 2017 planting season. I've narrowed the choices down to Welcome Home (available through J&P) and New Day (available through Edmunds). Reviews I've read of Welcome Home suggest this is a really good choice...good form, blooms in flushes. However, the photos of New Day show a really nice, solid yellow. Any input that could help me "break the tie" would be much appreciated. Thanks.
