Warm Wishes®, also known as ‘Sunset Celebration’, is a Hybrid Tea Rose that was created in 1994 by Gareth Fryer; parentage: ‘Pot o’ Gold’ seedling x Cheshire Life. This rose is known for its hardiness, it can be grown in most soil types, and is very pest and disease tolerant. Warm Wishes® blooms repeatedly from late spring into late autumn. When in bloom, it is especially nice because it does not show any signs of rain damage. Warm Wishes is a rose that belongs in everyone's garden. Warm Wishes has won over 15 Awards including; Royal Horticulture Society Award of Golden Merit (2001), Belfast Gold Medal (1996), Golden Rose of the Hague (1997), and All-American Rose Selection (1998).
