Book (1973) Page(s) 65. Includes photo(s). Snowfire One of the brightest, bi-colour Hybrid Teas yet! Velvet-textured petals on the giant 4 to 6-inch blooms offer the viewer an intriguing display of contrasts - crystal white on the underside and brilliant, glowing red on the upperside! This plant is a visual delight - bushy, compact and well balanced with upright habit and glossy, dark green foliage… leaves are broad and ovoid in shape. The blooms are borne singly on 9 to 12-inch cutting stems. This cultivar was hybridized by R. Kordes. It's distinguished parents are 'Detroiter' and 'Liberty Bell'.
