| Henceforth to be called...Queen of the spriped roses.
I no longer pine for Variegata de Bologna.. (had it, one of the few who died in the drought)
By golly this rose is something special for those who like striped roses.
Covered in bloom, everyone different, an absolute show stopper.
Odd name for a rose with little perfume, but gee, what a performer. |

Hi Fran,
Yeah it is on my 'most wanted' list after seeing and smelling it at a nursery.
Maybe yours is too young to have developed the perfume yet?
Wait for it.:)

Hi Fran
I too love this rose...has been a great delight out in the garden...I dont know if it is just me but I do find the blooms blow to quick inside.....but still heaps of joy outside in the garden.....(If only I didnt put Hocus Pocus bedind it)(that was a bad move).
Hope you get it Fran you will not be disapointed....even our rabbit likes that one...

I DO have it. It's right outside the window, planted next to Orthello and they look great together.
It's just had another dead head and has plenty of blooms.
It's a super rose that's now aobut four years old.. but my nose cannot find a perfume unless I stick it in the flower...ah well - can't have everything... :) |

I like the look of the rose very pretty is it a hybrid tea? or do you know which group it belongs to for ordering as I find the nursery usually asks thanks in anticipation

Smarter minds then mine will no doubt tell you, but I'd have said floribunda - because of it's flowering habit!
The blooms are very good size, and no two are the same! |
