Peonies, The Manual of the American Peony Society, edited by James Boyd © 1928 American Peony Society: [Descriptive List of Chinese Peonies]:

PRESIDENT TAFT. (Blaauw, 1909.) 8.7.

Considered the same as Reine Hortense, which see.

listed by:

President Taft (Blaauw 1909) ML-L.  Full double, many light pink petals make up a very large, exhibition quality flower.  The American Peony Society cultivar checklist declares this is a synonym for Reine Hortense (Calot 1857) but does not say whether because too similar to tell them apart or re-registered by mistake.  At any rate, ours wins blue ribbons and is an excellent performer. 

Kortmann (1998)

'Reine Hortense' (syn. 'President Taft') (Calot, Frankrijk, 1857) Bloemen roze, tepalen sterk gefranst, randen zilverachtig, gevuld, geur sterk onaangenaam, middelvroeg; bladeren fors, groen, gaaf , hoogte 80 cm; bloern en bladstengels stevig; vertakking matig tot goed. Een al zeer oude cultyar, die nog steeds in het sortiment aanwezig is. De bloemen zijn heel aantrekkelijk, maar de plant is enigszins gevoelig voor Botrytis.
