origination:
Offensichtlich kommt seit jeher bei den beiden Namen alles durcheinander. Wie kann man auch im selben Jahr eine Sorte Eugénie und eine Eugène Verdier nennen! Wer soll da durchblicken. In der amerikanischen Literatur ist 'Eugénie Verdier' rosa-pink und 'Eugène Verdier' zartlachs. Bei G+K ist es nicht so. Ich habe mich für die Amerikanische Version entschieden, da dort beide nebeneinader beschrieben sind und bei G+K nur eine von beiden.

EUGENE VERDIER. e-zhayn-vair-dyay'. (Calot, 1864.) 8.3.
Double type; large; late. A high-built, compact flower usually developing a decided crown; guards vivid rose-pink on outside, paler within, collar sharply defined by its light color and its narrow petals and petaloids, some of which are creamy yellow; center light rose but when fully open has a yellow suffusion from numerous petaloids similar to those in collar, occasional petals tipped crimson; mildly fragrant. Dwarf, robust plants; floriferous; stems very strong. Foliage light green and coarse.
Described in considerable detail to distinguish it from L'Indispensable, with which it is frequently confused. A very bold and impressive flower whose general color effect is light shell-pink tinted with cream.
"Typical 'crown type' if there is such a thing."—Little.
