Very, Very, Very good point!!!  I'm glad you pointed that out.  The color 
variation could be noticeable even closer.  You could give your neighbor a 
start from one of your plants and it could be a different shade at his house. 
 I "complained" to someone this spring that my roses never turn out 2B the 
same color as when I bought it.  I always buy roses when in bloom and the 
next year the color is always richer/darker/brighter.  I don't mind at all 
but just thot it was 'peculiar.'  The response was that it is b/c of the soil 
I plant it in and what I feed it.
