References:

From Maple Valley Gardens catalog, 1954: CREPE SUZETTE, No. 499 (TEA ROSE x HALL 42-05). Midseason. 36 inches. Light peach pink self with tangerine heard. A unique novelty because of its heavily creped texture. The entire flower is crimped and fluted as with a pinking iron. The blooms are large and long lasting--a single flower makes a stunning corsage. $10.00.
From Fleur De Lis Garden catalog 1956: CREPE SUZETTE (Whiting 1954) M. 36" to 38 in. (Tea Rose x Hall 42-05). A light peach pink self with a heavy tangerine beard, this is entirely different and most unusuaL. The petals are crepe like in texture and both stands and falls are heavily rufflad and fluted. 5.00.
