Description

» English Description

Ambroise Verschaffelt, 1852-1853 Catalogue, p.18. No description. Luzzatti Catalogue, 1853. No decription. Verschaffelt, 1854, Nouvelle Iconographie, Book 12, pl.4: Of Italian origin. Although it belongs to the perfections by the imbrications of its petals, these have various shapes and are inserted in a certain, disorderly way; sometimes like a star, at other times, regularly imbricated. The blossoms, of medium size, are a vivid cherry-red, becoming pink to the centre, which forms a rose shaped heart. The green leaves are rather small but compact. Originated in Italy by Negri, Milan. Orthographic variant: ‘Amelia Melzi’, ‘Amelia Melzii’, ‘Amalie Melzi’.
