Rosa 'Gene Boerner' is a pink Floribunda rose cultivar, bred by Eugene Boerner and introduced into the United States by Jackson & Perkins in 1968, in honor of Boerner. The cultivar was named an All-America Rose Selections winner in 1969.
History
Rosa 'Gene Boerner' was bred by American hybridizer, Eugene Boerner, director of research at Jackson & Perkins. The new rose was introduced after Boerner's death (September 5, 1966) and released in honor of his work.[1] "Papa Floribunda", as Boerner was known, was a world renowned rose breeder, and a pioneer in the development of Floribundas.[2] Boerner developed more than 60 floribunda rose cultivars during his 45-year career at Jackson & Perkins; eleven Boerner rose cultivars were given the All-America Rose Selections (AARS) award.[3]
"'Gene Boerner' is the perfect pink Floribunda rose with every flower shaped like a perfect Hybrid tea. They open out from crimson buds and have a uniform mid-pink color with deeper strawberry pink tones at the base of the petals."
— Quest-Ritson, 2011.[4]
