I want to buy a rose bush called, "Rainbows End,". Why is it really yellow in some pics though and really pink

in others? It's a bi-colored rose.Is it like a Hydrangea where it will vary according to my soil or is it's color established already...in which case I'll beg the distributor over the phone 2 send me a "Yellower" one and cross my fingers that they care!Also it's in the climber category so does that mean I have to make a trellis or will it crawl on the ground?

Trellises are a necessity for climbers. Here are some examples of trellised "Rainbow's End" See below



The materials you use to trellis plants will depend on your budget, how much work you wish to do, and available.

Reply:If it's a climber, it'll need some support. I don't know this particular cultivar, but some possibilities for color differences include photographic reproduction issues, age of flower (often bicolors go redder as they age).



The 'Rainbow's End' I found with google is, however, a miniature rose, not a climber, 16-24" tall and wide.
Reply:You may not be seeing the actual rose. If you buy tomatoes, it's very common to see one picture for every variety out there. And, photography isn't what it used to be. Some colors are hard to capture. And, in processing, they have to alter the tone so that greens are green and reds red. This means unusual colors don't really get justice. Even on slide film.



Or, it's possible you didn't get what you ordered.
