    Florida Sun Rose has a lot of variation in its colors through the seasons here in Florida. In cool weather it has lots of pink and yellow, as well as green, red, and purple. As the weather gets warm, the pink and yellow disappear completely and the green and dark red predominate. Late in the fall it begins to change back, going through a very red phase, then putting on the pink/yellow colors again. Never a dull moment with this one.
