can you tell a pink dogwood from a white one?

    Hi,
    We recently purchased a dogwood tree from our local home improvement store & the tag on it said it was a white dogwood. When we got it home we noticed another tag that said it was a pink dogwood. Depending on the color, we will plant it in differnet locations. Since it's not flowering now, we don't know which it is. Is there anyway to tell?

    Thanks!

    Sometimes pink cultivars have leaves with purplish tints lacking in white ones, which may be all-green instead.
