Most of the roses on this list are in distribution; many remain quite popular. That a rose has won an AARS award does not guarantee that it will please every gardener, but a singificant portion of the most popular roses sold in America - outside of English Roses which I think the AARS does not test - appear to have been AARS winners. The AARS prize does distinguish a rose.
A handful of roses have won AARS awards since 2000 that are worthy of note, we will post them as they come to our attention. In the meant time, if you believe that there are some AARS winners that ought to be added to the list, please feel free to send your reasons to steve at rosefile.com.
