Hello @shiney yes I have seen this many times over the years,Kronenbourg is a sport of "Peace"
Rose it can lose its red colour when its young and when its old hope this helps you my friend

A sport is a naturally occurring genetic mutation. Some types of roses produce sports more often than others, but a sport can occur with virtually any rose. Peace is a popular rose that has produced a number of well-known sports.

A sport is a naturally occurring genetic mutation. Some types of roses produce sports more often than others, but a sport can occur with virtually any rose. Peace is a popular rose that has produced a number of well-known sports. And some of the Koster family of polyanthas have multiple generations of sports in their lineage. It might seem that sports occur more often in certain gardens, but if you look closely you're likely to discover sports on your roses, even if you only grow a relatively small number.

Some sports are unstable, reverting almost immediately to the parent. Others may be somewhat stable, with partial or full reversion likely over time. And other sports are quire stable, though even these may ultimately show some signs of reversion if watched long enough. Sports can take a number of different forms; two of the most common are sports that are virtually identical to the parent except for the color of the bloom and climbing sports, where the bloom may be the same but the rose mutates into a climbing version of the variety. It isn't my intention to go into the genetics of sports here, but rather to give you a different perspective on sports.

Kronenbourg
