Emanuel. (Origin unknown.) Red.
EMANUEL (Wolfe, 1931) - Double - Blush - Early Midseason. Tall. Pleasing fragrance. Guard petals open a blush pink which color extends to the lower part of the flower. As it opens, the guard petals almost entirely disappear, leaving a rather round-shaped flower. There is quite a distinct shade of yellow that lights up the main part of the flower. Petals are loosely formed and will measure about 6". The buds all seem to come perfect. Dark green foliage. Bulletins 47 and 57.
