Hello,
I have had Variegata di Bologna in my garden for 8 years, and every June I look forward especially to her first blooms, because they are unique in their colouring and have a wonderful fragrance! The whole shrub - by now spreading evenly all round - is densely covered in flowers. She is also very robust, resistant to disease, has interesting foliage, and the longest shoots are now a good two metres high. She grows on an obelisk climbing support and is a real eye-catcher! I can recommend this rose to anyone looking for something special and robust!
Kind regards
Cornelia

The flowers of these Bourbon roses look quite amusingly speckled and are about 8 centimetres across; she is not very strongly fragrant and hardly repeats, but is in any case a special eye-catcher in the garden in June!

Meist ist diese Rose eine der ersten, die ihre Blüten Ende Mai zeigt. Sie wird als einmal Blüher gehandelt, in meinem Garten entfaltet sie aber auch eine zweite, allerdings nicht mehr so üppige Blütenpracht. Sie ist äußerst robust in der Überwinterung ( auf Hochstamm gezogen )leider ein beliebtes Objekt für die Rosenblattrollwespe, trotzdem ist sie eine meiner liebsten Rosen.

Ich ärgere mcih etwas darüber, dass meine vor zwei jahren gepflanzte "Variagata" kein bisschengesprenkelt war, sondern nur in rot blühte :-(

A wonderful rose
We bought the Variegata di Bologna bare-root 8 weeks ago. I had to have her! She arrived in excellent condition, the roots were moist. We soaked her thoroughly and cut her back a little. The rose was planted in the ground at the end of the lawn, the planting hole filled with compost. At first we thought she was a late starter, as nothing really seemed to happen. But in the last two weeks she has grown enormously, she is already about 35 cm tall and today I even discovered two buds! The rose grows in partial shade with us and gets about 4 hours of sun a day. Unfortunately she had a few rolled-up leaves, which I removed. I am already very excited about her flowers and will report again soon on flowers and fragrance.
