I have a rose that changes color throughout the day. The only possible reason I've noticed is the heat wave. The one that is half yellow and half pink turned very quickly on the day that was 99 and sunny. The others have stayed yellow today, 70s and partly cloudy. I tried to find info on this, but most sources seemed to say sunlight fades colors, not makes them different or more vibrant. Anyway, really neat!
I got it with a few other roses but believe it's a tea rose, broadway
I'm a chemist, so if anyone knows the chemistry, I'd appreciate technical discussion.

I should add. The two roses on the right are the same rose, first day of bloom. Bottom right is morning, top right is evening.
Left side, bottom is the same rose as the two on the right, second day of bloom.
The rose left top is a different rose, first day of bloom, same color all day.
Pink Rose
What color is the rootstock? Usually flowers change colors like that when it cools down, not a heatwave! That’s so interesting.
