Where are you located? I’m in Ontario and my rhubarb buds are red. I’ll post a picture in the morning. Interesting. I don’t know if there are different varieties.

mine havent had time to establish. planted the roots 3-4 days ago
Here is the status of my rhubarb. 
Wow, so does it spread year to year?
It does spread. It was planted when I bought the farm so not sure what was originally planted. The photo does not capture all the plants. I am desperately trying to give rhubarb to everyone I meet for the month of June :-)
I have 5 breaking the ground. The solid rain today helped.
