Fl. 54 mm wide; perianth segments apricot yellow suffused with red; corona small, bright orange, flushed red. Was classified as a Division 3 until 1930. Poetaz is in its parentage.

A description according to the 1934 van Waveren and Sons catalog: “We draw particular attention to the fact that this variety displays a decided copper apricot tint in the perianth, an important advance towards the all-orange Daffodil. The form and the texture of the petals is all that can be desired and they overlap perfectly. The cup is a magnificent solid blazing orange red. An additional value is found in its habit of frequently producing two flowers to a 20 inch stem. We who see so many beautiful kinds, observe the glorious metamorphosis of ‘Red Guard’, from bud to full blown bloom; with ever renewed ecstasy.”
