Hi,
it is "very pink", isn't it? Must be the weather.

Mine has never gone quite that pink here, but makes it interesting, you're lucky to get a bloom at this time of the year.

Love that pic!. JJ's colour is so sensitive to temperature, it's almost like having different roses , depending on the seasons. Colour swings are also more noticable because of its tendency to be one of the first off the ranks in bloom in early Spring, even in the colder areas of the northern hemisphere.

Autumn Damask's cool Victorian JJ seems typical of its cold weather colour.My freakishly early JJ in a frosty early Seattle March was the colour of AD's rose's centre. - intensely deep, Paul Shirville colour.

Come to think of it, I'd never seen an orangy yellow and white JJ until I grew it in sultry Sydney.
