Catalogo F.lli Giacomasso 1940-41 page 6

Addis Abeba – Hibrido di Pernetiana
E’ un “nuovo fiore” nel vero senso della parola; bottone rosso; fiore: il primo giro di petali ha la pagina inferiore lacca carminato, intenso rosso e giallo; i petali centrali sono di un giallo speciale forte e luminoso che danno al fiore una tonalità che contrasta fortemente col rosso di un effetto sorprendente! Emana un profumo soave e persistente che non si trova in nessuna rosa messa in commercio fino ai nostri giorni (Vedi fotografia a colori a pagina 17)

Translation :
It is a "new flower" in the true sense of the word; red button; flower: the first round of petals has the lower page carmine lacquer, intense red and yellow; the central petals are of a special strong and luminous yellow that gives the flower a shade that contrasts strongly with the red of an amazing effect! It emanates a sweet and persistent scent that is not found in any rose put on the market until today (see color photography on page 17)

NOTE. Although not stated the breeder is Fratelli Giacomasso (it is in the section where are listed the roses by Aicardi and Giacomasso; Aicardi is always reported whereas Giacomasso only for the "novità")

Reference added. Ansaloni was also advertising this rose in 1940.
