confused by multiple names. I had an Aloha and want to get another for where I live now. My Aloha was planted in about 1996. It was I would say ballet-slipper pink. Consistent color, many blooms: all season medium sized, maybe 3-4", some long-stemmed but also clusters with multi-stages in bloom. A distinguishing quality: the everready bunny for holding color and form, both in vase and then dried --even without being treated would hold color, form, scent. Well shaped bush, maybe 5 or 6 feet tall.--maybe lots of thorns. Freeze tolerant, no protection in zone7b. I thought a grandiflora; could have been a small climber or hybred tea on steroids. Unsprayed, foliage extremely healthy, little blackspot, no mildew. Smallish leaves neutral green.

It sounds like you had Aloha (Cl HT, Boerner, 1948).

Bill Warriner was almost like a shrub rose for me, it was so healthy and long in bloom. Not much fragrance. Blooms lasted well in vase--holds its shape a long time.
