Looking at a beautiful rose always delights me even if it is only on a photo and my hope is that this image of ‘Charles Darwin’, a David Austin rose that I grew in my previous garden in San Diego, also brings a bit of joy into your day. A lot of people are on the fence with regards to this rose, mainly because it changes color like a chameleon depending on the weather conditions and age of the bloom. It can be a lovely almost clear yellow, cream, or a bronzey yellow like on my photo or anything in between. I, like many others, love the color changes in this rose because it keeps it always interesting to look at and I find different colored blooms on the same rose quite fascinating. ‘Charles Darwin’ is not the only rose that changes its bloom colors quite severely as the blooms age or with different temperatures and soil conditions. So I wonder, in what camp do you fall? Loving roses that change colors a lot or hating that trait in a rose? Also, what rose varieties do you know that alter their colors substantially? Please share in the comments so that the lovers can maybe find another chameleon rose to add to their collection and the haters can avoid these varieties altogether to not be disappointed. Wishing you all a lovely day! Texas continues to suffer through a long term heatwave and I can’t wait for that to come to end but unfortunately it is not in sight, yet. I hope you gardeners out there are facing more favorable weather conditions. #organicgardendreams #charlesdarwin #charlesdarwinrose #davidaustinrose #englishroses #englishgardenroses #yellowrose #yellowroses #unusualcoloredroses #bronzecoloredrose #rosephotography #flowerphotography #rose #roses #rosesofinstagram #instarose #instaroses #roselover #roselovers #cottagegarden #beautifulrose #beautifulroses #fortheloveofroses #unusualrose #bloom #blooms #flowerphotography #cottageflowers #gorgeousrose #stunningrose (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce34VtnuiOU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
