I've already send some pictures of both in the past .Here are my observations on some differences between them . Reversion which is solid red/purple in colour can be found under names "Victor Emmanuel" , "Variegata di Bologna Rouge" , "Mrs. Yamada"...

I see no difference in canes or leaves , but V. Emmanuel is slightly less prone to rust and mildew and much more resistant to BS. Variegata has so far never set any hips.

VE sets a lot of big hips full of seeds , which seems to be fertile (no floaters) , I saved 40 of them in the fall . Flowers on VE do not ball in wet , they age to deep purple and remain gorgeous until they drop . Fragrance in both roses is quite strong and beautiful , there is slight difference , I just don't know how to describe it .

Both flower only once in season. To me Variegata di Bologna

is the most beautiful striped rose and Victor Emmanuel is becoming one of my favourite roses . If only they were more

disease resistant...

Here are some pictures of both .
