Peonies, The Manual of the American Peony Society, edited by James Boyd © 1928 American Peony Society: [Descriptive List of Chinese Peonies]: RAOUL DESSERT, (Dessert, 1910.) 9.0. Double type; large; late. Brilliant shell-pink, of a shade extremely rare in peonies, lacking those mauve or bluish tints which characterize the family; rose-scented. Medium height; free-flowering; erect stems. Excellent foliage. The color puts it into a class with Walter Faxon and Souvenir de Louis Bigot. Although it is not as brilliant as Faxon, the flower is more highly finished and it is possibly a better variety. "A well-grown flower of Walter Faxon makes a remarkably well-finished bloom much superior in color to Raoul Dessert."Ftwkes. "A perfect beauty, same shading as Walter Faxon and a much better grower." Boyd. |
