EXQUISITE. (Origin unknown.) 8.9.
Single type; large; midseason. White; tall; good foliage.
"This is a true single with an abundance of pollen. It resembles Le Jour very much when first open, but the petals eventually droop and the flower loses its fine saucer shape."—Fewkes.
This is similar to Le Jour except that it has greenish carpels and yellowish stigmas instead of red as in Le Jour.—Little.
