Finally, after having bad luck with Piñata the first time around, I decided to grow it Own-Root. I found the ticket. This one is a completely different plant than the sickly Bud Graft plant I got 9 years ago. As far as I can tell, this one should Not be grown on rootstock. This is worthy of many accolades, as long as it's growing on it's own roots! (View my uploaded photos).

It's been a cluster of ever-changing flowers all spring and summer this year after allowing it to build a nice root ball, and dead-heading all buds the first two years. Now, this year, it sits up on a hillside, and throws large flushes in clusters of 8-12 flowers that range from 3 to 4 1/2 inches in diameter. The show of yellow buds through to the fire engine red/verging on scarlet fully open bloom is striking even from 200 feet away! This is a crowd pleaser. One of the best parts is the sweet fruity and spicy fragrance it has. Somewhat similar fragrance to Westerland.
On it's own roots, it also gets very little BS and holds it's foliage much longer than when it's sickly counterpart Bud Graft version was struggling to keep 6 or 8 leaves. It also tolerates hot sun and dry periods exceptionally well, but noticeably blooms better when given more water. Makes striking cut flowers and lasts up to 4 days in a bud vase. I do not spray ANY of my roses, and this one is definitely a No-Spray success story.
If you liked this one but didn't like it's sickly appearance, maybe it's time to try it again grown on it's own roots.

UPDATE: (March 26, 2020) Piñata has been a trouper through the last year here. It's not had a month where it's been without flowers. With it's versatility of being a gradient colorwheel and ever-changing kaleidoscope, coupled with the ability for it to be a nicely climbing broad shrub, it's defnitely winning my heart.

I'd have to say this is the rose I would recommend for someone who is just starting out, someone who is very indecisive for color range or growth habits, or even someone who only has space for one. This covers all of the bases. The fragrance definitely seems to get stronger as the rootball gets more massive. It definitely has a substantially large rootball for being own root. Perhaps this one doesn't need rootstock? With my soil conditions being acid, and on the wet side, it does extremely well. I've noticed the flowers are increasing in cluster size as well as ever-so slightly larger petals than last year.

I accidentally left a cluster of hips on, and it didn't seem to care. It made another new cane with a cluster of 8 buds. It's rock solid! The fragrance is much like Westerland, for anyone who's sniffed it. There's also an added slight licorice scent in there behind the apricot and raspberry fragrance notes. Sometimes Westerland has a little 'herbal' fragrance that Piñata doesn't which makes this one much cleaner and "edible" smelling. You just want to eat the flowers. In contrast, on rootstock the fragrance was very slight and only the first day. One of the most rugged and everblooming in heat and cool weather, undaunted by rain, bushy and relatively untouched by BS, even without EVER spraying Ever! This one is tops!
