Description

» English Description

Luzzatti, 1851, Collezione di Camelie: Beautifully imbricated, rose flower with white blotches or streaks. Verschaffelt, 1856, Nouvelle Iconographie, Book VIII, pl.II: Mr Luzzatti sent this in 1852, its rather small, though graceful blossoms are streaked with white. Although belonging, by the imbrication of the petals, to the class of perfections, its flowers pre­sent a certain disorder with the petals, sometimes rounded, sometimes oval, full or uneven. A cherry red mixed with white enhances the effect. Orthographic errors: ‘Belle de Pisa’, ‘Bella de Pisa’, ‘Bella Pisa’. Originated in Florence, Italy.
