'Flaming Zep' rose References
Book (1934) 'Flaming Zep'. (Pernet): Flower glowing tangerine orange-yellow, buds splashed carmine; scented, dark green glossy foliage. Growth erect, free and branching. A sport from 'Mme. Edouard Herriot'. Named 'Flaming Zep' owing to the similarity in colour and glow to a burning Zeppelin airship destroyed in the neighbourhood a few days before the sport appeared. Bed.
Book (1921) Page(s) 137. Walter Easlea. Pernetiana Roses. 'Miss May Marriot' (Robinson). A fine orange gold sport of 'Mme. E. Herriot'. There has appeared three or four sports of a similar character, namely, 'Flaming Zepp', 'Golden Star' and others, but I think this is the best.
Book (1920) Page(s) 128. The Autumn Show. Mr. T. P. Edwards made a great feature of 'Flaming Zep', the fiery orange sport from 'Mme. Edouard Herriot'....
Book (1918) p219. Advertisement. Joyning's Nurseries, Waltham Cross. Chaplin's New Seedling Pedigree Roses. Golden Glow. A lovely decorative Rose of unique colour, apricot shaded bronzey orange, with beautiful dark green foliage. The flowers are long and pointed. This is a sport from the well-known variety (" Daily Mail"), and is synonymous with Miss May Marriot and Flaming Zepp.
p228. Advertisement. T. P. Edwards, Middlesex. My new rose Flaming Zep will be offered for sale Autumn 1918. This charming novelty, sported from Madame Edouard Herriot (Daily Mail Rose), almost beneath the scene of the destruction of the German Airship by Captain Robinson, V.C., at Cuffley. The blooms, which are fragrant and rich glowing orange, truly represent the colour and glow of the blazing craft. The habit of the plant is identical to that of the parent, erect and branching thorny wood, disease and pest-resisting glossy foliage, and without doubt the most hardy and free flowering orange coloured rose ever introduced.
