Peony ID

13 years ago

I am trying to identify a peony in my garden. I thought it was a Shirley Temple but some pictures of Shirley Temples listed on the net are either pink or have red flecks. My peony is pure white and very fragrant. It's a bowl shaped double.

Aren't Shirley Temple peonies white?

I took the photo to the nursery where we purchased the plant and they said it was Julia Rose. The flowers seem to be quite variable in quantity of petals, based on the online photos we have seen. Thanks for your help.

I can't detect any fragrance in my garden either. It could be climate-related (hot and humid) or just a personal sensitivity. I can't smell most peonies and roses. Not a good thing for a gardener :)
