spotty

[piranha]

when i bought this cultivar, named "jalitah", the label promised it would look like this: http://foto.mein-schoener-garten.de/neu,foto,user,cameo,654616,orig.html

unfortunately, mine blooms just plain yellow. except this latest blossom is sporting magenta spots. i've been wondering whether it might've been a label mixup, though in general the rose does comform to the description. maybe it's something in the soil, or something missing, that would get it to bloom according to type?

Keep an eye on it but you might notice some slight colour shifts over the next few years.

I get those spots on our roses sometimes, I don't usually bother treating but then I'm lazy and try to not treat every single little thing.
