This is a really GOOD rose! And probably in the mix when it has been discussed who/what did/didn't get an AARS accolade.................THAT being said, I do think it is odd that THIS rose---a pink-to-coral Floribunda---is what was named for Bill Warriner! Because unlike Gene Boerner (and HIS namesake is a PERECT tribute!), Warriner really specialized in Hybrid Teas and he rammed into our rose history that "color change" fad of the 70's.............when I think of Warriner I think BIG and LUSTY as much as color change---he used South Seas extensively for that FAT bloom and think Tampico, Spellbinder, Antigua,Color Magic, Medallion, Pristine, Headliner and so on----he maybe got a little scattered (Red Reflection?! How and moreover WHY?!!!!)................he got a little over-rated at the end (Cherish?!)..............but he was a Hybrid Tea man! DREAM COME TRUE-----the Gr.from Dr. Potterschmidt----THAT is what I would see as carrying Warriner's name, soomething like that...............or just a big fat coral that fades red or something, but a Hybrid Tea, a BIG rose...............

The rose's parents 'Sun Flare' and 'Impatient' were both bred by Bill Warriner.

I guess the funny part is that Dream Come True descended from NZ and UK bred roses.


Bill Warriner was my FAVORITE floribunda ever. But it defoliated religiously here.


If someone were to re-create it, but with Knock Out's foliage... they could take over the world :]

I haven't grown this one in years and have toyed with ordering one from Jackson & Perkins. I just remember it being a very small, short bush...but I also remember it being COVERED in blooms. Was that your experience too?

Yes. Perfect little salmon-coral-peach HT blooms in tight bunches on a short plant.

I loved it. Couldn't deal with a naked plant though.

Previously grown in South Mississippi, this rose was relatively short and more like a shrub rose. It rarely eclipsed 2'. However, it had excellent disease resistance and was a profuse bloomer. The blooms also held a long time on the bush and in a vase. The only small negative is a lack of fragrance. Otherwise, a great rose for tight spots or pots.

Bill Warriner was almost like a shrub rose for me, it was so healthy and long in bloom. Not much fragrance. Blooms lasted well in vase--holds its shape a long time.

This rose has turned out to be one of my best and favorties. I am surprised it does so well in our zone 8b Texas humid climate. I will add more of this rose to my gardens. The blooms stay open and beautiful for such a long time. They do not shatter out easily even on windy days. The foliage is always very healthy and very pretty. The color blends are so soft.
