op hybrid teas vs. op english roses?

Last year I grew some open pollenated seedling from some english roses. The ones that have bloomed are "English" looking medium to dark pinks. They are mostly very pretty doubles. This year I planted some op seeds from some hybrid teas like Blueberry Hill, Honey Perfume, Playboy, and Distant Drums. They are germinating really well, but the anticipation is too much! My Blueberry Hill has about 20% seedlings with light yellow leaves. I did some research, and It sounds like they are albinos, which won't have enough chlorophyll to grow, which is a bummer because if they did it would be really spectacular. Well I guess to make a long story short, I would like to know if anyone can give me a heads up on what to expect from my op hybrid teas as far a shape and color? If anyone has experience with the varieties I mentioned above, what were your results? Any info is appreciated.
