I believe this photo may be correct, contrary to reports that it may be inaccurate. This is only because I bought a Signature bare root from HD and when it began to bloom this spring the colors are rather pale as pictured! I was shocked, but since I pulled the plastic off the roots myself I know it wasn't mislabled (not like those potted roses that often are at HD). By contrast, the Signature rose I saw in discount nursery last year and passed up on initially was a very deep, hot pink, which is what I was expecting when my bare root bloomed. Instead I got something that looks a lot like this "inaccurate" photo. I am guessing that once the rose is better established the colors may deepen (either that or the weather changes).
