Making Rose Water...what color is it supposed to be?

What color should the rose water be? I have some dark pink roses and I was going to boil them until the water turned pink but I boiled them until I got the house smelling like roses and I tasted the water and it tasted like roses and slightly sweet, but the water was pinkish-brown! Almost like a lightish tea color. It doesn't smell burnt, it still smells like roses but it's just brown. Did I make it right? I didn't have a brick to do it the distilled way so that's why it's not clear but is it okay that it looks pinkish-brown? And does this rose water also contain rose oil? I'm not sure how to tell.... and what can I do to enhance the rose smell even more?
