Grown by Levet in 1881, seedling of Paul Neron... "Bright cerise red, very large and full...of magnificent petal and in all respects one of the best" (P1)."Sweetly scented and vigorous..." "Rather loose blooms ..." "Blooms come well, of extra large size, with stout petals generally tightly incurved in the center, fine regular smooth shape...capital lasting qualities...not much injured by rain, though the colour soon fades..." "The branches are upright and strong, with few thorns..."
