    Where did ",if it's been there since last year come From"? The rose has been there about 5 years, always been the same colour, never been a white bud before. There are no suckers.

    Does the flower have the same form and number of petals as the purple ones?

    ..if it's a sucker, and it's been growing since last year unnoticed, then it will flower this year, with a single white flower, which is what your white flower is looking like.. however we need to see the flower fully open and showing the cane and foliage connected with it, and from where it's coming up at the base...  

    ..what little foliage and stem I can see from that picture looks like a sucker to me, but if you're sure it's not then it may be weather related.. best wishes..

    Hubby has Traced it back,it's above the crown. It has a mass of tiny buds as usual, course we can't see yet what colour they are going to be. It's ironic, because that is my MAUVE bed,!!

    Blue Roses just do not exist, commercially speaking that is, however the first blue rose is on its way as it has been grown by a bunch of mad Australian and Japanese Scientists. The lucky blighters have discovered the holy grail of the rose world!

    I never said it was s blue rose merely it's name I said it was mauve. There are very few true blues in flowers
