I have 4 roses in a huge planter box in front of my house, they get afternoon sun and are growing beautifully.

I have noticed that the color of my 'Mr Lincoln' is not red, as it was when I bought it, but is more of a magenta/purple. My Peace does not have the pink on the petals like it should, rather they flowers come out creamy yellow.

Is this a sign of a deficincy?

Mister Lincoln is very typical of certain red roses. He starts out a deep red and then in a few days will change to a purple red. This is normal for this rose. Peace has been so long in the rose world that many times you will not get the true colour of this rose.
