[From "Seven Disappearing Roses", by Darrell g.h. Schramm, pp. 11-17]
‘Girona’ is a 1936 hybrid tea bred by the Catalonian breeder Pedro Dot...... A fairly contained rose that grows to about four feet, ‘Girona’s’ blossoms wear a varied Pernetiana blend of soft carmine red and luscious yellow, “one of Pedro Dot’s color wonders,” asserts Gregg Lowery. The petals appear elegant, delicate, and palely marbled or veined. The flowers emit a damask perfume. Its three to five leaflets are pale green or chartreuse, serrulate and oval-acuminate. The stipules vary from being pencil-line narrow to quite wide on the same plant.

p67.  R. Marion Hatton.  New Roses in America
Girona, from Dot, is the most highly perfumed Rose of the year, with a strong fruit fragrance. Both plant and bloom remind of President Hoover and Signora Piero Puricelli. Growth as nearly as tall as Hoover's, but more compact, and the blooms, some four inches across, with 30 petals, do a chameleon act in changing through shades of yellow and pink, too fast to keep up with, but pleasing at all times. Each plant produced a lot of flowers during the season. 

p123.  Mr. S. J. Bisdee.  Tasmanian Rose Notes
Girona began with very washy pale colours, but picked up its glorious colouring again when the hot days came. It is a very nice thing. .
