JFK Rose Turned Red—Rootstock Takeover

Your white JFK bloomed dark red after a mild winter = rootstock (Dr. Huey) took over. JFK (tender hybrid tea) died; hardy Dr. Huey (red climber) sprouted from below graft. Dr. Huey blooms once, red.

No reversal possible. Replace with hardy own-root rose or protect graft better (12″ mound).
