» English Description
Edward’s Botanical Register, 1815, vol.1, pl.22 as Pompone or Japanese rose. Imported from China for the Kew Gardens, 1810. The flowers 8-10 cm across, consist of 10-12 large outer petals in 2 rows, around a number of smaller one that rise in the centre in an erect, irregular mass. The colour is white, except for the bases of the petals which are tinged with camellia rose, as well as a small stripe up the centre. Baumann & Baumann, 1829, Collection de Camellia élevés à Bollwieler, p.7, pl.9: The flowers are large, the petals undulate. the inner petals small and in clusters. The same plant sometimes bears white, sometimes reddish flowers, sometimes variegated with these two colours, all on the same branch. For colour plates see Loddige’s Botanical Cabinet, 1821, vol.6, pl.596; Curtis, 1819, Monograph on the Genus Camellia, pl.4; Booth, 1839, Transactions of the Horticultural Society of London, 7:546. Story, from Loddige's Botanical Cabinet, 1821, vol 6, pl 596: "Like the other varieties of this magnificent plant, this has been introduced from China, where they are universally cultivated, and whence we still look for importations of new and hitherto unknown kinds. We obtained cuttings of it, with several others, in 1815, by the liberalfty of Charles Hampden Turner. This gentleman, we believe, was the first who received it in this country, brought over by Captain Welbank.It is a free growing sort, more lax in its branches than some of the kinds. In this, and other respects, it so strongly resembles the Paeonaeflora, that it is not possible to distinguish them when out of flower : the leaves are perfectly similar. As every other known variety differs in leaf and growth as well as flower, some persons have concinded that there two are really the same, nay, it is even said that occasionally the two kinds of flowers may be found on one plant. We have cultivated both for several years, and both have flowered abundantly every year, but always incontestably distinct ; the blossoms of each, though varying considerably, never approximating in such a way as could lead to the possibility of their being mistaken for each other. Such being the state of the case, we are bound to consider them as two different sorts.The same mode of treatment is requisite for this which we recommended for the other kinds, and it may be increased by cuttings, or by grafting on the single stock, which latter is the preferable mode". Synonyms: ‘Mutabilis’, ‘Pomponia’, ‘Kew Blush’, ‘Variabilis’, ‘Pompone-Flowered’, ‘Pomponia Plena’, ‘Pomponia Incarnata’, ‘Pomponia Flore pleno’, ‘Pomponia Bianco-Rosea’, ‘Pompone Variabile’, ‘Pomponia Variabilis’, ‘Pomponia Bicolor’, ‘Pompon Variabilis’, ‘Waratah Pomponia’, ‘Paeoniiflora Diversiflora’. Sports: Paeoniiflora, Paeoniiflora Pallida, Paeoniiflora Alba.
