Dr. Robert E. Atkinson. The New Roses.
Williamsburg is another clear pink rose that originated from a cross between Queen Elizabeth and Henry Ford.  This cross was made by Henry Warriner at the old Howard & Smith Nursery in Montebello.  He is now with Jackson & Perkins at Pleasanton.  Williamsburg has attracted much attention in the Exposition Rose Gardens because of its vigor and size. It bears one flower to a cane and when cut the blooms may last as long as 10 days
