Fryer's Roses says Warm Wishes is an appealing and gorgeous soft peachy coral. The flowers are highly fragrant, large, and exquisitely formed... this rose had already received eleven international awards when in 1998 it was awarded the Golden Roses of the Hague -- only the second Hybrid Tea to win this award since the famous 'Peace' rose in 1965...
This rose celebrates the 100th anniversary of Sunset magazine.
