Notes:
'Amelia' in commerce is possibly identical to 'Celsiana'. Udo Croce of Italy states: "Amélia and Celsiana look similar but Amélia, an Alba hybrid, is distinguished by the prickles and blooms that are stable in colour and size. Amélia's buds do not have the typical damask shape, they are more rounded. The sepals are less elongated. The receptacles are less prickly. The blooms, very fragrant, retain their colour. The foliage is flat, larger, smoother and darker than those of Celsiana. They have the double, sharp serration at the tip, characteristic of the Alba. »
