“Atrosanguinea” is a taller grower and not inclined to blight like 
“Edouard Andre” with which it has sometimes been confused. 
“Rubra Triumphans” is a much looser bloom, nearly single, and 
more of a crimson than “Atrosanguinea.” 
“Jussieu” does not exist as a distinct variety, but is a synonym 
of “Atrosanguinea;” the same is true of “Atrosanguinea superba.” 
D’HOUR, AUGUSTIN 
Species— P. albiflora. Originated by Calot, 1867. 
Donated by Cottage Gardens Co., and Peterson Nurseries. 
Description in brief —Large, medium compact, showy bloom; 
dark reddish pink (solferino red 4-5) [157] bomb type, with a slight 
silver reflex. Midseasn. Good. 
Description in detail —Clearly differentiated guards curving back 
to stem; the center of the bloom is a prominent bomb, with central 
petals wider than collar, but not forming a crown. Extreme center 
petals are linear, \% to 2 in. long; bloom entirely transformed. 
Odor lacking. 
Strong, vigorous, medium tall plant, good habit. Medium 
bloomer in clusters. 
Remarks —Not quite so compact’ bloom as “Felix Crousse” or 
“Victor Hugo,” and possibly not so free a bloomer. The color of 
all three of these varieties is very similar. Possibly “Felix Crousse” 
is a little more brilliant than the other two. This variety has a 
more prominent collar than “Victor Hugo” or “Felix Crousse.” 
Synonym —This variety is often sold as“Marechal Macmahon. 
EDULIS SUPERBA 
Species —P. albiflora. Originated by Lemon, 1824- 
Donated by Dessert, Goos & Koenemann, Cottage Gardens Co., 
and Peterson Nurseries. 
Description in brief — Large, loose, dark pink (Mauve 2 [181]), 
crown type bloom; rather flat when full open. Early. Extra 
good commercial bloom. 
Description in detail —Large, loose, flat crown with a few narrow 
lilac 1 (176) petals at collar. Large tuft of wide petals, same color 
as guards, surrounding a few narrow petals in extreme center of 
bloom; prominent collar. Odor pleasant. Same season and 
color as “Gen. Bertrand,” but it differs in having a collar and crown, 
while “Gen. Bertrand” is a bomb; the latter is a more upright 
grower also. 
Synonyms —Identical with the above are “Delia,” “Edulis 
Odorato,” “Rosa Lilacina,” “Mamie Cutler,” “Sylvanus,” “Glorie 
de Douai,” “Pizano,” “Early Rose,” “Acanum,” “Sainfoin,” and 
“Lilacina Superba.” The above so-called varieties are synonyms 
pure and simple. No record can be found of the origination of any 
bona fide varieties under the aforementioned names; they should 
be stricken from the trade and this variety placed under the proper 
name, “Edulis Superba.” 
In addition to the above synonyms this variety has masqueraded 
under the following names, which in reality are standard varieties, 
and there should be no confusion between them and “Edulis 
Superba:” “L’Esperance,” “Alexandriene,” “Jeanne de Arc,” 
“Rosa Plenissima,” “Duchess de Nemours” (Guerin), “Jules Elie,” 
“Gen. Bertrand,” “Solfatare,” “Comte de Paris,” “Triomphe du 
Nord,” “Triumphe de 1’ Exposition de Lille,” and “Fragrans.” 
Remarks —There seems to be more confusion over this variety 
than any other, and it has been sent to the Cornell plots under each 
of the above twenty-three names; and in some cases “Edulis 
Superba” has come under three or four different names from a 
single nursery. 
Nemours, duchess de 
Species —P. albiflora. Originated by Calot, 1856. 
Donated by Cottage Gardens Co. 
Description in brief —Medium size, pure white, crown type 
bloom, sulphur white collar, no crimson flecks present. Early, 
two days later than “Festiva maxima.” Extra good commercial 
bloom. 
Description in detail —Clearly differentiated, narrow petals in 
collar, with wide petals forming crown, greenish tinge in central 
petals and no crimson flecks. Odor pleasant.
