Pinkish flowers , striped and speckled with red. A vigorous shrub with something of the 'Debbie' about it (think Essex girl, think cosmetic dentistry!)

A very old variety from Italy, raised by Onofrio Maggi some time in the middle of the 19th century.By 1862 the RHS had awarded it a first class certificate.
In the original description the flowers had a pure white background with red flecks, the petals very tightly imbricated. My plant is looser
and has a distinct pink tinge.
