Much of the effects are caused by different pigments responding differently to the temperatures. The end results on the petal colour and patterning depends on the types of pigments and their concentrations in different locations of the petals and how those are affected differently by temperature, sunlight, etc.

Below is a high resolution close-up of a petal from 'Midnight Magic' showing some of the effects of weather conditions.
