Positive	Sibilagorjeana	On May 30, 2008, Sibilagorjeana from Bucharest () wrote: This rose had been breeded by Wilhelm Kordes, Sparrieshoop, Germany, in 1998. I believe this is the most floriferous "Kordana" miniature I know. It blooms repeatedly all the summer even without pruning, behaving like a polyantha as sets several blooms per stem. But unlike polyanthas, the Kordana miniature has very spectacular high-centered blooms and a stunning deep dark red colour, like the florist's rose varieties. It also has a nice tea fragrance, stronger than other Kordanas. Unfortunately, they are pretty sensitive to powdery mildew.
