The petals are disposed in 6-7 rows, ample, numerous, separated, regularly imbricated, notched, almost imperceptalble veins and reflections in the cup shape in one and the other intervals between the rows; those that form the last row are lengthened with spots of white. Geldorf, Const., 1844 reports that this variety produces red, pink and white flowers. Synonym: ‘Cooperi Imbricata’, ‘Cooperi’(Youngs). Orthographic errors: ‘Cooperii’, ‘Copperi Imbricata’.
