Aquarius This Grandifloria was originated by David L. Armstrong and introduced by Armstrong Nurseries, Ontario, California. Parentage is ('Charlotte Armstrong' x 'Contrast') x  ['Fandango' x ('World's Fair' x 'Floradora')].  The medium-sized, mildly fragrant blooms are usually produced on single stems, occasionally in long-stemmed clusters. The petals of the flowers are nicely imbricated, the net effect being rather formal. Roses are produced almost continuously and are long lasting on the plant, usually 7 to 9 days. The shapely, deep-pink buds, almost every one perfect, are borne in great quantities on long, stout stems. The plants are tall and vigorous, bearing heavy, semi-glossy foliage with average resistance to mildew. This is one of the 1971 All-America Rose Selections.
