References:

From Schreiner's 1968 catalog: VITAFIRE (Schreiner 1968) M 34. A bright sort of cherry rose red with extremely smooth texture. Like fine silk. It is not velvety appearing, as many reds are, but rather has a crisp, silken appearance which, with its ruffled, crisp, waving petals gives it a most graceful air. It was one of the sleepers in our seedling rows. Overlooked originally, it has emerged as an extremely popular, different colored red. # W 395A. HC '67. $20.00
