Pink Varieties
Claire Dubois (Crousse).  8.7.  Pink.  Occasionally, as one walks through a field of many different varieties of peonies, he comes to a sort that so far as its all-around good qualities are concerned, stands head and shoulders above its neighbors.  Such a flower is Claire Dubois.  A late flower, of immense globular form, with long incurved petals of a uniform shade of clear violet rose, tipped silvery white.  It has that same wonderful attractiveness possessed by Mons Jules Elie.  They are much the same in color but Claire Dubois is late where Mons Jules Elie is early.  The best cut flower of its color in its season.

Descriptive List of Chinese Peonies
Claire Dubois. (Crousse, 1886.) 8.7.
Double type; very large; late. Bright rose-pink, with much blue—almost a mauve-pink—paling toward the tips of the petals whose serrated edges give the flower a crisp appearance; odor nor pleasant. Moderately tall; fairly floriferous; stiff stems. Dark foliage.
Has much the silvery appearance of M. Jules Elie, but the color is livelier and its iexture less opaque. At its best it is a heavy-built flower, closely incurved and compact, of fine globular form. Its keeping and shipping qualities are worthy of note.
"The old description said 'violet-blue' which comes nearer the color."—Saunders.
