Paeonia 'Rachel'

type: [herbaceous peony] – [species cultivar] – [lactiflora]

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

RACHEL. (Lemoine, 1904.) 8.3.

Double type; large; late midseason. Light rose-pink with flesh tints toward base of petals; not notably fragrant. Medium height; free-flowering; erect stems. Good foliage.

A high-grade peony of compact, globular form whose chief fault is lack of definite distinction. It should not be confused with Rachel (Terry, 1900), which is quite inferior.

"Very fragrant. In my opinion a very beautiful flower and should rate much higher."—Boyd.

RACHEL (Lemoine, 1904) - Double - Pink - Late Midseason. Medium height. Not notably fragrant. Large. Light rose-pink with flesh tints toward base of petals. Free-flowering, erect stems. Good foliage. Midseason.
