'Comtessa' rose References
Book (1982) Page(s) 38. E. F. Allen. Awards to Rose Seedlings in Great Britain in 1981. Trial Ground Certificates [to]: KO 68 06 (parentage not revealed), an H.T. type floribunda, by Kordes, with superb clusters of orange flowers which are strongly tea scented. In early July, 1980, I judged it to be of Gold Medal standard but it never quite recaptured this high standard in 1981, perhaps because the old flowers did not shed well. Nevertheless, at its peak this is a lovely coloured rose.
