Floribunda
Seed: Ginger
Pollen: Ma Perkins X Garnette Supreme
Papa Floribunda bred this rose a few years before his death and Jackson & Perkins decided to name it after him. Eugene Boerner was of huge importance in the development and creation of Floribunda roses. Gene Boerner won the All American Rose Selections award. In total Eugene would win six of them
Gene Boerner has the look of a grandiose Tea or HT rose. Her flowers are Neyron pink, very double, high centered with petals scrolling back, in my opinion the most beautiful rose bloom shape. They have a mild tea fragrance.
Size: 120X100 cm or 4X3 feet. Can be used as a border rose, in beds, a hedge and in pots. Extremely disease, rain and heat resistant. Some say she's indestructible.
White Gene Boerner is a very pale, flesh pink sport. Equally as beautiful as her mother.
