A large, single, red with a large central boss of stamens like a brush. This is the Flora & Sylva, 1904, Jupiter, renamed, as it was invalid due to a different cultivar having previously been listed as Jupiter by both Berlèse and Verschaffelt in 1849 and van Houtte in 1843. In England in paricular, 'Juno' and 'Jupiter' are used as altemative names for the same cultivar. Synonym for Jupiter (Paul).
