'Argentine' /Lemoine/1924
Kortmann (1998)
'Argentine' (Lemoine, Frankrijk, 1924) Bloemen roomwit tot wit, gevuld, laat; tepalen en petaloiden aan de basis geel tot crèmekleurig; bladeren matglanzend groen; hoogte 70 cm; bloemstengels stevig; vertakking goed. Ond.ank de lichte gevoeligheid voor Botrytis werd deze cultivar toch met één ster gewaardeerd. Op zwaardere gronden voldoet de plant beter.
