Red Peonies
Irwin Altman (Kelsey 1940). A very fine, clear glowing light red that is unlike any other red. Good form and pleasing color. Mr. Kelsey was justly proud of this origination and well he might be. It is a full double with petals symmetrically arranged and it also possesses a fine fragrance.
