I have been searching and am unable to find anything further as to whether 'Big John" and 'Te Awamutu Centennial' are the same rose. Same breeder, same code name, same colour, but different dates. Can anyone else can shed further light on these two roses.

Hi Patricia.........
Good catch ! I have added the American Rose Society's entry from the Modern Roses 12 database which shows 'Big John' as a synonym. It appears from their information that the rose was initially introduced in 1985 as 'Te Awamutu Centennial' in 1985 and then introduced again in 1998 as 'Big John', but in both cases the ARS does not identify the introducer.
Smiles,
Lyn
