Description

» English Description

Poiteau, Apr.1846, Review Horticole, p.6-8: Named at the March Expo­sition and is the earliest positive listing and gives the name ‘Decazes’ in one word. It is a place name and the splitting into “De Cazes” is erroneous. Later in the same year, van Houtte, in his Catalogue 27:19, gives Adonidea, ‘Gallesi d’Italie’ and ‘Dorusio à bords blancs’ as synonyms. The last two are synonyms for Adonidea, which was in commerce in 1837, and it is probable that these are all the one cultivar. The Duchesse Decazes at present listed by Claude Thoby, Nantes in Colour Catalogue, Apr.1971 as ‘Duchesse de Caze’ is a soft pink with a veining and edging of white. A medium size, full peony form with vigorous, upright, compact growth. Flowers mid-season. Said to have been introduced by Souchet. Orthographic variant: ‘Duchesse Decaze’. Orthographic errors: ‘Duchess de Case’, ‘Duchess de Casa’, ‘Duchess de Cases’, ‘Duchess de Casse’, ‘Duchess de Caze’, ‘Duchess de Cazes’, ‘Duchess de Gaze’, ‘Duchesse de Casas’, ‘Duchesse de Case’, ���Duchesse de Cases’, ‘Duchesse de Cassi’, ‘Duchesse de Caze’, ‘Duchesse de Cazes’, ‘Duchesse de Gaze’, ‘Comtessa de Cazes’, ‘duches duy Cazes’, ‘Duchese de Cazes, ‘Comtesse de Cages’.
