Peony 'President Roosevelt' 24W21 6yo
Peony 'President Roosevelt' 24W21 6yo Lactiflora T2 (Warnaar, 1905) (3-DB-RD) Lactiflora Cultivar Peony, 36in.@ Maturity, RD Dark Red, Medium height, double, raspberry red petals, fragrant, midseason bloomer, Hardy to Zone 3-8, Garden T2 (SRC Wild) PLTD 2018.
Warnaar is from the Netherlands and only has one peony registered with the American Peony Society. Hollingsworth Peonies lists this peony as a Franklin introduction, however they appear to be referring to Peony 'President Franklin D. Roosevelt'. I believe 'President Roosevelt' was named after Teddy.
American Peony Society: APS rating 7.7. A desirable red Peony that originated in England but was introduced from Holland. The flower is medium size, globular, semi-rose type, with compact petalage and with stamens irregularly scattered throughout the flower. The color is a distinct shade of brilliant dark red, different from any other red Peony we know. A medium tall, erect plant with slender but stiff stems. Mid-season.
