About George Burns Potted Rose Bush
Rosa ‘WEKcalroc’ George Burns
George Burns is a floribunda rose bred by Tom Carruth (USA) for Weeks Roses. This playful variety produces clusters of ruffled, double blooms in vibrant stripes and splashes of yellow, red, pink, and cream. Each flower is unique, resembling a hand-painted masterpiece. The blooms carry a strong, sweet citrus and rose fragrance, making them as delightful to the nose as to the eye. Compact and bushy with glossy foliage, George Burns™ offers repeat flowering all season long.
