White Climbing Rose

This is a question from a girl in Israel. Anybody any ideas?


I have a huge climbing white rosebush in my garden, and a few weeks ago I noticed that some of the roses had a pinkish tint to them. I actually first noticed it as I was walking on the path on the other side of my fence and thought some kids has given them a light spraying with ink or something - you know, as kids do. A week later I noticed it on the roses on my side of the fence too so I can't blame the neighbourhood kids. Anyway, today I was emptying my teapot out onto the garden, like I always do, and I wondered if the loose green tea leaves are affecting the ph or alkaline in the soil? I know you can alter the colour of some flowers but didn't think green tea would do it.

Any ideas?

 

If it does, it's the first time I have ever known it to affect the colour of roses. Very interesting.


And there is no possibility of it being the flowers of any suckers?

 

No Lolli not suckers. This has only started about a month ago. It's a gorgeous pure white rose.

 

Do you know which specific rose? It might help ( me??)

 

These are the pics. The first one is the rose a month ago ....no pink.
This is what is happening now. I am trying to get a name
