All red G. mihanovichii - doomed?

All red G. mihanovichii looking happy but doomed?

This is my Variegated Gymnocalycium mihanovichii. I repotted it immediately when purchased in the beginning of May, and realized it had no roots to speak of. I'm assuming it was de-grafted and stuck in dirt for sale. I feel like this plant is probably doomed but wanted to make sure. It's now alomost 2 months later and it's been flowering pretty much the whole time. It's planted in gritty bonsai soil and in full sun. Since there are no green patches with chlorophyl, it cannot grow roots, right?
