MARIE CROUSSE. ma-ree-crooss'. (Crousse, 1892.) 8.9.
Double type; very large; midseason. Guards very large, with usually smooth outline; central petals broad, narrowing toward the collar, forming an immense globular bloom; pale pink, shaded rose in the center, overspread with a glowing suffusion; moderately fragrant. Medium height; free-flowering; stems stiff. Foliage of average quality.
A fine peony of noteworthy color and form. There is a suggestion of creami-ness about the color, but the petals are too translucent to call it creamy pink and the tint is not strong enough to be called salmon.
"I should call this rose-pink shaded salmon." Saunders.
"One of the most beautiful blooms on the show-table."—Boyd.

'Marie Crousse' /Félix Crousse/1892
Kortmann (1998)
'Marie Crousse' (Crousse, Frankrijk, 1892) Bloemen roze tot zalmroze, zeer groot, gevuld, nauwelijks geurend, middelvroeg; hoogte 80 cm; bloemstengels stevig; vertakking goed. Hoewel de bloemstengels van deze pioen stevig zijn, zijn ze niet altijd berekend op de zeer grote, zware bloemen. Vanuit het vak wordt deze oude Franse cultivar toch nog steeds gewaardeerd, hetgeen ook door de keuringscommissie wordt bevestigd.
