Baron Girod de l’Ain

Description

A sport of Eugene Furst, the Baron stands apart by its narrow, irregular white edging on the fully double dark red blooms. The petal edges are further distinguished by their irregular edges which have the effect of torn paper tucked into a packed crisply cupped bloom. The Baron is a great favorite to this day for exhibition. For best rebloom, snap blooms immediately after flowering.

Discovered in 1897 by Reverchon.
