Here is what the U.K. breeder, Gareth Fryer, printed in his catalogue at the time of introduction of Warm Wishes.

An outstanding new variety which continues to receive world-wide acclaim and firmly establishing itself as one of the finest introductions of recent years. The color is gorgeous and appealing soft-peachy coral. The flowers are highly fragrant, large, exquisitely formed and carried in abundance, both singly and well spaced in clusters, with amazing continuity on an evenly balanced bush of medium height. Foliage is dark green, extremely healthy and luxurious, holding onto the plant well into the winter. Since first seeing this wonderful rose we have never ceased to be impressed by the rapid succession of beautiful blooms which are unaffected by wind, rain or sunshine. Whether bedding or for individual planting, this is certainly a rose not to be missed. A winner of two further International awards last year, bringing its total to eight, including one for fragrance, is confirmation that we have in Warm Wishes something very special indeed.

Valderose Gardens is the Canadian agent for Fryer's Roses and has extended production rights of this variety to other Canadian rose growers. Whether you buy Sunset Celebration or Warm Wishes, it is the same variety.
