Notes:
Kelway & Son sent at least two similar Japanese peonies to US customers as 'King of England'; these were distinguished as the red-stemmed 'King of England' and the green-stemmed one.
To minimize confusion, US growers called the red-stemmed variety, 'Edward VII', and this explains why Kelway & Son didn't list a lactiflora peony called 'Edward VII' in their catalogues, but US references attribute it to Kelway, if they attribute it to anyone. See REFERENCES.
To be clear, Kelway did introduce a peony named 'Edward VII', but it was a tree peony.
