CARDINAL'S ROBE(Saunders, 1940) - Single - Red. Shining scarlet. Very striking color. Albiflora x lobata. Lists in Bulletins 91 and 129.

Cardinals Robe (1940) Shining scarlct; very si[milar] in both color and form. [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 Reds

Cardinal.s Robe (Saunders 1940)  EM-M.  Single; brilliant scarlet red, color enhanced by the yellow center and excellent substance, our favorite of the Lobata of Perry reds.  Medium tall bush, leaf-clothed from top to bottom, has the most durable foliage of the group, a striking addition to the perennial border.  Triploid, but useable fertility.
