Roses changed colour?

I bought 2 lovely bright pink patio roses and planted them up in lime green pots (chosen to work with the colour of rose)..but now the flowers that were out when I bought them are dying off the new buds are opening and are a very orangey red colour..not so nice! Any idea why the change?

Not sure you can see it too well in this photo in this light: (smaller not long opened rose in the lower middle of pic is orange red, large rose above is bright fuschia pink)

 

No idea
I do know some of my roses appear to be one colour and then fully "ripen" to their full glory.

How long have you owned the plant? Is this the first year? If so, it may simply be that is how the bud/flower naturally develops?

For example: one of my most favourite roses has a bud much, much darker than the full blown flower. The in-between stage is a slightly different colour too.


Here's my "before and after" shots to show you what I mean (sorry, no in-betweeners)

Same rose, just different stages:-




We need to ask our @wiseowl

 

I find as the season draws on rose colours change as new blooms appear, the first flush of flowers are at their best. Whether this is to do with feeding/watering, heat etc. I don't know. However, as "M" says roses do change as they open from the initial buds.

 

Lol, thank you! Yes, a rose by any other name would smell as sweet

Yes, I've only had the plant for about a week..so we shall see what happens, maybe the flowers will darken into the lovely pink. There are LOTS and lots of buds on it, so it's nice and healthy (because I've only had it a week... :P ).
