I had been observing this rose plant since childhood. There is something special about it. The bud is deep orange, slowly as the petals open up it turns yellow, Gradually, it's colour fades and slight pink appears on the corners of the petals. At the end it's all white with pink dots all over.

Thanks Damyanti. We have plenty of flowering plants at my parents and at my inlaws place but I can't keep many because we travel quite frequently. :)
