In 1953 Pretoria was presented at the International Rose Trials of Rome. It was the first among italian roses and got a certificate of merit.

Thank you! Award changed. Reference in MR must be incorrect.

The information I gave was only partially correct: Pretoria was the second italian rose. The first was Riva Ligure.

In the 2020 reference Sheenagh Harris says ‘Pretoria’ won a gold medal in Rome in 1953.

The three 1953 references clearly state that Pretoria won a certificate of merit; in particular in Rosenjahrbuch and in American rose annual it is clearly stated that it won a second certificate. In particular the report in American rose annual was signed by Countess Mary Senni who lived in Rome and ... was "on the spot".
According to two references, the winner of the Gold medal at the International Rose Trials of Rome in 1953 was Pastorella by Meilland.

Sheenagh Harris apparently has quoted Modern Roses, which has it wrong. As Cà Berta says, contemporary publications clearly state 2nd Certificate of Merit.

Oh. No wonder I was confused - sometimes I can’t see the truth behind the clearly stated references. Thanks to you both.
