The Bill Warriner rose, are lovely pink/salmon colored Floribunda roses. This rose epitomizes all that is good in a Floribunda rose! It produces classic, Hybrid tea form flowers that are outstanding.

It is a constant bloomer, producing generous clusters of well-spaced, large blooms throughout the growing season. The Bill Warriner rose flowers in shades of orange, salmon, and coral, and a bush in full bloom, is a showpiece in the garden.

Clusters of these coral colored Floribunda roses are stunning in the vase! It’s no wonder why it has such a great color combination, with parents such as “Sunflare”, and “Impatient”.

Flowers stand up well in the rain. They really show up well against the dense, dark foliage. Pointed, ovoid buds turn into sweet, perfect flowers, borne in generous clusters, that make great bouquets.

Warmer climates will have it reaching 4-5’ tall, but it will stay smaller (3-4’) in cooler climates.  It is also recommended that it be given winter protection in zone 5, because of reports of it not surviving the winters there.
