My Double Delight Rose… Looking Not-So-Double
My Double Delight rose has been keeping me on my toes this year. When it had its first big flush of blooms, the flowers were gorgeous—exactly the classic red‑edged look I was hoping for. But even then, I spotted one tiny bloom that came out completely white. I shrugged it off at the time.
This is the second blooming of the season. It started out normal...
Turns out, this rose is just picky about the weather. Double Delight needs strong, direct sunlight and warm temperatures to bring out that pinkish-red color. Without enough heat and sun, the petals stay pale.
And with all the cool mornings, cloudy days, and random rain we’ve had, it makes sense why the color disappeared.
Here’s what I’ve learned:
Not enough sun means no red edges.
Cold or wet weather keeps the plant from making the red pigment.
The blooms start out white anyway and only color up once they’ve had plenty of sun.
So nothing is actually wrong—my rose is just waiting for better conditions.
All it needs is a good 6–8 hours of California direct sunlight each day!
Hopefully, the next round of blooms brings back that beautiful pinkish-red I saw earlier in the season
Have a happy and #SublimeSunday, everyone!

Great to see your care for them. Direct Sunlight is very necessary for them to grow faster, I don't have enough knowledge btw.

That’s very interesting that double delight roses need that much sunshine @silversaver888 😎
Up here in the Pacific Northwest they would probably be a pale white Lol………
Except for this spring, we have sunshine!🤗😎😊
They need 6 to 8 hours to have their full colors!
But even with pale colors, they are so pretty, @silvertop😊!

Sounds like they would do very well only in the summer in the Pacific Northwest @silversaver888😇
This time of year we have daylight from 5 o’clock in the morning till 9 o’clock at night with brilliant sunshine from 10 in the morning till six at night!😎
Looks as if someone randomly sprinkled red eye shadow on pure white blooms, no flower is exactly alike.
Always, with Love 🤗🌺❤️

It's still lovely with a touch of pink instead of the normal color. It's like having 2 different rose bushes out of the same plant! Thanks for sharing sis; much love, hugs and kisses to you! 🤗😘😍❤️ !LADY !HOPE !BBH

For a while, I was worried until I learned more. My Double Delights in my first house had full sun exposure and were always pinkish-red!
