‘Brasilia’ = Hybride de Thé… Il semble hélas n’être distribué que par un unique pépiniériste, en Hongrie… fleur bien pleine, moyenne, combine le jaune et l’écarlate clair sur une corolle à cœur élancé en début d’épanouissement. Puis elle s’ouvre en coupe lâche, peu odorante mais résistante à la pluie… buisson droit, plutôt élevé, et son feuillage luisant, rouge vif au sortir du bourgeon, se pare en été de vert intense. McGredy UK 1968.

The Final Analysis 1973-74 Season.
'Brasilia'. N.R.S. rating 5.6. (McGredy). 'Kordes Perfecta' x 'Picadilly'. Very striking colour when first out - velvety scarlet and gold - but a shocker when it ages, which is too quickly. It opens quickly and doesn't produce enough blooms. Upright thorny growth and good foliage.

Plate 114. the hybrid tea 'Brasilia' is named after the new capital of Brazil. It is descended from the rose 'Piccadilly' and keeps its main characteristics, but the colour is more intense and there is a greater contrast between the bright red of the petals and the yellow that is revealed on them when the flower opens completely. The leaves are dark green and particularly shiny.

'Brasilia' Introduced by McGredy in 1967, this fascinating bi-color is a rich salmon color almost to red, with yellow on the reverse. The exquisite long buds form slowly and the blooms are lovely from bud to when they are spent. Glistening foliage is disease resistant.
