ELLEN COWLEY (Saunders, 1940) - Semi-Double - Red - Hybrid. Deepest bright cherry. Albiflora x lobata. Lists in Bulletins 91 and 129.

Ellen Cowley (1940) Small close brilliant rosette. [Albiflora x lobata - the great race of „lobata hybrids“ This group contains many beautiful pink and red tones so long desired in the Chinese peonies; salmon, coral, rose and deep cherry pinks, to clear bright crimsons, with no hint of purple and never a bad color in all the hundreds that have bloomed. I think this is the most brilliant and e effective strain of herbaceous hybrids yet produced. . Their season is generally M. They set hardly any seed, but their F2's may be interesting. About a dozen reds, and almost thirty pinks have been introduced, many of them so similar to one another that I have now tried to sort them roughly into color groups. The pinks especially, fade off as the flower ages , into pale peach shades, so that a mature plant will have flowers of many differing tones, but all harmonious [..] are single except when otherwise noted. open deepest bright cherry

(Saunders 1940) EM, Semi-Double; many petals, sharp pink (or light red in a cool spring). Very prolific, many stems; leaflets and flowers medium size, good in floral design. Medium tall stems, good grower. Like many Lobata of Perry Hybrids, does well with shade, quality of summer foliage is helped.

ELLEN COWLEY Bright rose coral. Double row of incurved petals with showy golden stamens. One of the shocking pinks which gives a grand display. Develops into a large bush smothered in blooms. Red Double, Early, 85cm.

ELLEN COWLEY
Saunders (USA), 1940
Hybride – Paeonia lactiflora x P. peregrina
Half gevulde bloemen van een massieve grootte op een zeer compact en sierlijk gewas. De rijen bloemblaadjes zijn zeer helder kersenrood van kleur en omringen een hart van goudgele meeldraden. Weinig tot geen zijknoppen. De bloei- en groeiwijze is gelijkend op die van 'Cytherea', met als enig significant verschil de bloemkleur. Deze hybriden behoren tot de momenteel zeer modieuze pioenrozen: Stoer en compact gewas en enorme bloemen van sprekende harde kleuren op dikke stevige stelen. De crème de la crème onder de pioenrozen wat ons betreft!

Saunders (USA), 1940
Hybrid– Paeonia lactiflora x P. peregrina
The semi-double flowers of 'Ellen Cowley' provide a grand display. Many shocking pink to light red colored petals form a close brilliant rosette. The center of the flower consists of many showy golden stamens. Little to no sidebuds. Flowering characteristics and planthabit are comparable to 'Cytherea'. Many very sturdy stems, and very floriferous. A very compact bush completes the whole: an outstanding variety, as a landscaper as well as a cutflower. One of our personal favourites!

Ellen Cowley (Saunders, 1940) Sharp pink, semi-double, midseason, 33" tall, hybrid. Sharp pink semi-double with many stems and many flowers. Can tolerate some shade.
