'Philomèle' /Calot/1861
PHILOMELE (VF)(E-M)(Calot) An anemone type combination of dark old-rose pink and ivory with wide dark old-rose guard petals; strong stems on medium height plant; heavy bloomer when established; medium-size blooms
PHILOMELE A striking landscape variety with bright rose guard petals, enclosing a center of amber-yellow petals. As the flower develops, a crown of brighter rose appears in the center. Although it is not a true Japanese type, we are including it with them since it is so similar in form.
Philomele (Calot 1861) ML-L. Anemone form; guard petals dark old rose pink, encircle a collar of narrow buff petalodes; the narrower center segments same color as the guard petals, a distinctive combination and useful identifier of this cultivar. Quite fragrant. A most reliable performer, vigorous, strong stems, spreading bush with dark green leaves. Occasional carpels, useable fertility.
