some of the foliage pictures show light/dark green patterning while others are solid. my new plant is demonstrating patterned foliage (but it's light green in the middle and darker green on the out side) to varying degree's. Is it just a characteristic of the species or is it a sign of stress or something else entirely? Anyone have information?

Could it be a virus?

R. Kenneth Horst in his Compendium of Rose Diseases show central areas of leaves yellow from waterlogging.

with more growth it seems to be more random now and only on newer growth. I think it's just what the plant may do, have mottled young leaves that age to the usual solid dark green.

The Garden (Sept 2, 1922) p. 439
Rosa Sweginzowii.—This is an ugly name for a spreading Rose that is very handsome when in fruit. The bright crimson haws are inverted urn-shape and glow with colour, and the neat, fern-like leaves are somewhat like those of Rosa sericea. The plant was raised from seed collected by the late Mr. R. Farrar. Wilson is of the opinion that it is a geographical form of R. setipoda.

R. sweginzowii 'Macrocarpa' should be listed as a descendant and sweginzowii should be listed as the seed parent (at least) of R. sweg. 'Macrocarpa'.

This rose does not show "continuous (perpetual) bloom throughout the season". It behaves just as The 'Macrocarpa' selection of this rose does - which has been correctly described as "once-blooming spring or summer".
