So it's a 6' tall rose with 5" bloom floribunda?
I am so confused. Makes it sound a lot like 'Lloyd Center Supreme', which is a classic grandiflora.
Are these stats true? I guess its not a commercial type rose, so it can be marketed to exhibitors without worry about confusing the public over classes, but I feel like I am missing something here?

5 inch blooms is an exaggeration. 4 max. Was popular with exhibitors years ago when rose show judges wanted hybrid tea form on floribundas, which is no longer the situation. And there was only one place to get it, which was through the namesake's own nursery, and he sold only fortuniana grafted roses, which probably explains the height claimed here. It is not that tall own root.

What about a four inch bloom, on a plant 4-5 feet high?

Ah, must be from the 'Day Breaker' craze. I don't mind it, as long as it doesn't look synthetic in the garden. Thanks for filling me in.

I am very impressed with the beauty of this rose and am very glad that it's classification has been changed from a hybrid tea to the floribunda. The floribunda class is truly where it really belongs anyway because of it's bush growth factors and the spraying and size of it's flowers. I don't think it is overly winter hardy however, so it definitely needs protection when it gets cold. I lost my bush to winter last year when we had the late freeze the week of Easter. I wasn't going to replace it but have now decided I will since it is classified correctly.
