From Bay View Gardens catalog,1989: BATTLE HYMN, 38 inches, ML. $35.00. From our line to achieve true red through the tangerine factor, we offer this deep mahogany red, with beacon-like yellow beard. Lustrous, shining finish that makes the bloom glow from afar. Nice ruffling, heavy substance, wide branching and many buds assure a long season of bloom. Easy grower. No. 82-148-P2: Marauder X ((Veneer sib x (Capitation x Coffee House)) x Lady Friend sib).
