red foliage on roses - Garden Plants and Gardening Forum

Hello, does anyone have any idea why my roses are turning a reddish color? It's not the flowers I'm talking about, but the stalks and some of the leaves. Does this signify something about the soil maybe? Or is this normal even though most of the leaves and stalks are green?

I believe that signifies new growth on the rose.
