Rose Society people often warn us that the first few blooms on a new bush are often out of character, frequently an odd color or fewer petals than normal, untl the bush settles in. The problem is guessing if the company sent the wrong cutting or not, and by then it's a little late to get rid of it. Many ARS-affiliated Rose groups have experts at their shows who can identify a rose if you take in characteristic foliage with several blooms. Being able to see leaves, stems, buds, and seedpods will all help.
