From AIS Bulletin #217 April 1975 Introducing TEXAS ROUGE. TB, 31", ML. Satan, Jr. X LP 70-R700:((inv. Country Poet plus long line of reds x Tantallon) x Mary Randall). A LARGE red--as large as the name suggests--as red as the French say it. Standards are full, rigid and widely domed--but together at top-and of a color between ruby red (RHS827/3) and garnet lake (828/3). Falls are deeper ruby red (827) with very light overlay of black and edged lighter color of standards. They are wide and flaring with outer half dipping slightly to give flower a somewhat globular effect or appearance. Red-brown beard. Flower has glossy wax-like finish. A bitone-and a beauty as such. HC '74. Net $25.00. Les Peterson.
