GRACE ROOT (Saunders, 1940) - Single - Pink - Hybrid. Clear light salmon pink, cut shaped single. Albiflora x lobata. Lists in Bulletins 91 and 129.

Grace Root (1940) Pink stigmas for contra [..] plants is less tall than the other two. [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. ] The Pinks: First, three salmon pinks, which are the ear[..] bloom of the race.

Grace Root (Saunders 1940) Early midseason. Best Landscaper Single, large, bright warm pink petals with pink tipped carpels. Low plant to 26 inches. Another infrequently listed Saunders Lobata of Perry Hybrid; due to peculiarities of the crown-root anatomy, mostly propagated by blind root pieces (also called ”stubs”) requiring extra growing seasons—not a problem for the end user. Very nice. Item 890.
