CORNELIA SHAYLOR. (Shaylor, 1917.) 9.1.
Double type; large; late. High-built blooms with immense guards of pale rose, a collar of flesh-white, and a slightly darker shade in the compact, rose-like center; fragrance very faint. Tall; floriferous; strong stems. Dark, glossy foliage.
An exceedingly impressive flower of globular appearance, and while it is decidedly pink on opening, it becomes almost white with a greenish tint at the base of the petals. Generally considered a reliable late sort which opens its buds well.
"I consider this the best I have seen of Shaylor's later introductions."— Thurlow.
"Very large, beautiful flower but no fragrance."—Boyd.

'Cornelia Shaylor' (Shaylor, U.S.A., 1919) Bloemen lichtroze tot bijna wit (tepalen aan de basis wit, aan de top roze), gevuld, centrum geel tot crèmekleurig; bladeren groen tot donkergroen, gaaf, hoogte 90 cm; bloem en bladstengels zeer stevig. Deze cultivar is aantrekkelijk door de bloem, de geur en de kwaliteit van het gezonde blad. Er ontwikkelt zich altijd één bloem per stengel, hetgeen voor een tuinpioen enigszins nadelig is. De plant lijkt licht gevoelig voor Botrytis.
