Notes:
According to the US Patent for this rose, WILblank is a Floribunda that has a double white flower with a yellow center. It is particularly well-suited for garden use, but will also do well in a greenhouse environment. This rose resulted from the crossing of 'Ma Perkins' and unnamed seedling resulting from the cross of 'Charlie McCarthy' and 'Easter Morning'. Concard-Pyle marketed it under the name Stardance. It is a member of a family of floribunda roses which C-P marketed under the Miniflora trademark. 'Stardance' blooms in clusters of from 3 to 10 flowers.
