This is one that I haven't been able to find a description of anywhere, so I'm just posting the name with no guessing. :-)

'Ruffled Romance'

It's another one that I've had for several years, lost the tag but "remembered" the name. Actually, for a while I thought it was "Ruffled Sheer Romance" but decided I might have borrowed the "Sheer" from the previous call.

I've searched the FC database for names with "Romance" and/or "Ruffled" in them, to no avail. There is a 'Ruffled Red' with a description that matches, but no photo, and it just doesn't seem like one that was likely to be widely distributed (hybridized by an AV society in 1975).

Ruffled Red (2679) 05/20/1975 (Union County Chapter AVS/Max Maas) Semidouble dark red star. Plain, ruffled. Standard

So, if the photo rings any bells, please chime in! Otherwise, I'll continue to consider it a "lost-tag noid" that may or may not be named 'Ruffled Romance'.

The bloom color really is a lovely deep crimson, very like the 'Pow Wow' I saw blooming at the Violet Gallery.

Here she is... 'Ruffled Romance'! (?)
