'Lavender Pinocchio'  Short  Lavender  pink  Remontant     P4   H2 
Raised by Eugene  Boerner and introduced by  J & P in 1948, 'Lavender Pinocchio' revived hopes of a blue rose. It has rather small semi-double flowers, light lavender pink, very pretty with their yellow stamens; it is much better grown under glass than outdoors in the British climate. It was derived from 'Pinocchio' x 'Grey Pearl'.

'Grey Pearl', a controversial item in itself and of no distinguished popularity, has mothered a new and distinctly fashionable group of hybrids... Greying a color or shading, brings new color qualities not available with pure pigments. That is what 'Grey Pearl' contributes, as illustrated in the smoky pink-lavender of Lavender Pinocchio.
