Peonies, The Manual of the American Peony Society, edited by James Boyd © 1928 American Peony Society: [Descriptive List of Chinese Peonies]:

KELWAY'S QUEEN. (Kelway, 1909.) 8.8.

Double type; large; late midseason. Bright rose-pink, with flesh tones in collar and extreme center and a few red flakes; strong rose fragrance. Medium height; fairly floriferous; strong stems. Large, bright green foliage.

A globular flower with serrated center petals, and at one time much confused because of a mixture of varieties sent to this country under this name. Compact, decorative plant which does not produce many stems but each stem usually flowers.

"There is a spurious violet-rose variety offered under this name which is very poor. The true variety is very scarce."—Boyd.

Kelway's Queen (Kelway 1889), palest shell- to coral-pink, delicate lovely tint. White when mature. Large globular. Sweetly rose scented. Medium height. FF.MYL. *
