Althea/Rose of Sharon question

Hi,

We moved into a new home a couple months ago and are in the process of figuring out what the plants and trees are in our landscaping.

We have a Rose of Sharon Althea which is very large (about 15 feet tall, 10 feet wide). Most of the blooms are pink with red centers, but there are some branches that have pale white flowers with red centers.

Are these trees/shrubs commonly grafted with several varieties on one? Why 2 different flowers from the same plant?

Thanks!

~Andrew~
