Gina Lollobrigida is a beauty! She 'came of age' her third year in 9b. Reliable bloomer the past two years. 4ft tall x 3ft now--stayed at 2 x 2 the first two years. She only fades slightly in the intense summer heat. As the bloom matures, it looks like a David Austin rose, then a dahlia. Very mild blackspot--although did remarkably well during the monsoon summer here in 2003.
