Scientific Names

Read about Dahlia rosea in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Dahlia rosea, Cav. (D. variabilis, Desf. D. Barkeriae and C. Royledna, Knowl. & Westc.? C. superflua, Ait. C. purpurea, Poir. C. nana, Andr. C. crocata, Lag. C. coronata, Hort.). Fig. 1206. . typically once pinnate, sometimes bipinnate; Ifts. ovate, toothed, broader and coarser than in the other species. B.R. 55. B.M. 1885.—The original of practically all the old-fashioned dahlias, particularly the Single, Pompon, Show and Fancy types. It is therefore the parent of the vast majority of the horticultural varieties. This is a wonderfully variable species. Some plants are densely hairy, others scarcely at all. The Lvs. are sometimes bipinnate in parts of plants or throughout an entire plant. In double forms the rays usually have abortive pistils. Many garden forms have glaucous sts. Some authors have doubted whether this species is distinct from D. coccinea, but the two types are very different in the garden, although there are intermediate forms in nature. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
