This new race of hybrid Peonies starts blooming about ten days before the regular Peony season. They are of surpassing beauty, giving us reds more brilliant than we have ever had, and new shades in coral, cherry, salmon, and orange; reds free from any purple cast. The Royal Horticultural Society of England in 1956 gave their most highly prized "Award of Merit" to John Harvard, Red Monarch, Dandy Dan and Rosedale, and "Highly Commended" to Rose Marie. In the 1956 popularity poll of the American Peony Society, Chocolate Soldier, Rose Marie, John Harvard and Veritas stood among the top six kinds out of 59 red hybrids voted on.
