Bred before 1909 in Italy, Variegata di Bologna produces large, cupped, 5” roses with 60+ petals in each blossom in a creamy white with neatly striped purple-crimson lines. He is one of the most striking striped roses providing a fantastic early display and occasionally will repeat bloom later in the season. Variegata di Bologna is a strong, upright bush that will benefit from training up a support such as a pillar.
