Anecdotal Notes
Creamy white/pink with red virus streaks. Yellow center. White and pink flowers are occasionally speckled with deep red streaks and sprinkles after the plant matures. Very striking. Mild sweet lilac fragrance. Well balanced and easy to grow. Pubescent new growth. White and pink with a unique splash of blood red. The center has a sunshine ring. ALL FLOWERS DO NOT HAVE THIS VARIEGATION. Some heads have a few variegated flowers while others only carry the pink, white, and yellow color. It sometimes takes up to three years before variegation occurs. Medium, well proportioned growth habit. 2.5-3” and a soft, nice texture. The flowers are large, have a nice perfume, and every tip gets an inflo every year. It produces masses of flowers, and is also the first to bloom and last to finish, pubescent stalk. Pink and a touch of pale pink toward middle and yellow center, 3", some flowers will be very dark pink and some will be red with splash of white, light scent. Grows like a weed. It was named after the creator's wife, Victoria Rosselli. Limbs have a soft, slightly fur like texture. Only a few flowers spot and splash reds and pinks and actually variegate. When the 2-3" speckled pink and red flower variegation finally appears it is a spectacular sight. Well-balanced form and is easy to grow. The fragrance is mild and sweet. One of the most floriferous. It's a prolific bloomer and I love the shape - the small leaves curve down gracefully, like an umbrella. Pubescent new growth. Sets seed.
