B. ‘Hoagland Erecta’

American homes and gardens. New York V. 6 1909 Jan.-Dec. http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/130750 The Hoagland erecta is a very strong, rampant variety, almost always in bloom. Its flowers are shaped like those of Rubra, but are of a soft pink, shading to carmine at first, but soon fading to nearly white. These flowers are covered at the base with short hairs which give them a plush-like appearance. This variety can only be grown effectively in large windows, for it requires ample elbow-room in which to display its beauties to the best advantage.
