From AIS Bulletin #209 April 1973 Introducing VALENTINA (Spence '73). Midseason. 34". TB. Sdlg. 66-53\.OA (Brilliant Star x Rippling. Waters) X Christmas Time. White self with a heavy tangerine beard. The large ruffled flowers have a diamond dust sparkle. Bud count and branching meet with current standards. RTG 1971. HC 1972. Net $25.00. Herbert Spence.
VALENTINA (Spence '73) is a most handsome white with good deep red beards, good branching, and eight to nine buds. In my area [California] it's not a robust grower, but still I expect it will enjoy great popularity.
