WANTED: Como swap and Snow Pavement rose

Well, the 'white' snow pavement rose turned out pink this year. I purchased it 4 years ago and until this year it was white. It was from Monrovia, the "mother" plant and it's off shoots are all pink now. Monrovia had listed it as 3'x 3' it is about 4' x4'. I checked their on line cataloge and it isn't there any more. Does this mean that the original was not it's own root as it was supose to be? Why would the two off shoots that I kept and the original plant all turn pink the same year?

High Country roses lists it as a white rose tingd with pink and 3' x 3'. My 7 hardy roses from High Country have all stayed true as advertised. Think I will stay with High Country.

Who can explain this to me?

    I think that the problem is that it was grafted onto another root.

    Pauline, the Snow Pavement rose that I got from you at the spring swap has buds on it and they are tinged with pink. The plant is doing great! It's even put up a sucker which is about 6-8 inches tall at this point.
