| Hello! I just moved to a new house (Oregon, zone 8b) 5 months ago and I've inherited a number of old rose bushes that were in pretty bad shape. A kind neighbor taught me how to prune and fertilize them, but due to years of neglect, I didn't have a lot of hope. But as of late I'm seeing some buds, and a few roses have appeared! The first one to bloom was this one, with a very unusual multicolored flower. Can anyone help with identifying it? (Ignore the long green strip leaves, the rose seems to be growing on top of another plant.)      |

| It looks like it may be a Hybred Tea called Helen Naude. Once the blooms on top start blooming, take a picture of the bud and the flower 1/2 open. Will be able to tell better then. It's a rose!!! It has nothing to do with life and death. |

@KenNEGA Here are a couple photos with a new bud about half open, let me know what you think!   |

| It hardly looks like the same rose, but my Chicago Peace goes through the same color change from bud to fully open before the petals finally drop off. |

| Yes, I was surprised as well! I came across one rose called Perfect Harmony which seems to have more yellow than mine, but maybe that one changes as well? |

Here's that same bud about week ago, and again yesterday. Looks like it goes from yellow to more white as it ages. Any thoughts on what variety this could be?   |

| Gold Medal roses go through the same color changes. |
