Rolando Zandri, breeder and former Curatore del Roseto di Roma, informs me that the memorandum of 1940 International Rose Trials of Rome reports. "CONCORSO INTERNAZIONALE PREMIO DI ROMA: Fra i concorrenti Italiani viene assegnato un PRIMO CERTIFICATO DI MERITO al N. 3 corrispondente alla varietà 430 H.T., ottenuta dai FRATELLI GIACOMASSO di Torino, denominata "FLORENTIA", adatta per aiuole, salmone e arancio rifiorentissima" (translation: among the italian competitors is awarded a first certificate of merit to the rose n. 3, i.e. the variety 430 H.T. obtained by Giacomasso Brothers in Turin, named Florentia, suitable for beds, color salmon and orange, very repeating)

According to the Encyclopedia of Rose Science (Table 13) in 1940 no rose won the Gold Medal at the International Rose Trials of Rome.

The data in this Encyclopedia is not 100% correct. The award is mentioned in Modern Roses. It would be worthwhile to check contemporary Italian publications.

I see if I can find something.
There is also a discepancy about the award to Monterosa: a gold medal in 1952 according to HMF and a first certificate according to Giacomasso Bros (see references)

La foto di Brigitta's garden che ritrae la rosa Florentia, mi sembra sbagliata o forse è stata caricata per errore. Ho visto Florentia in vari giardini "Roseto Fineschi di Cavriglia" "orto botanico di Roma". Le foto che ho messo posso assicurare che corrispondono alla varietà Italiana Florentia.
