Full Description

TB, 42″ (107 cm), Late bloom. Blend, old rose with tan underlay. ‘Gypsy Rose’ X ‘AlpineGlow‘.

From Schreiners Iris Lovers Catalog 1955 “Dramatic yet restrained, the exquisite color harmonies of this fine rose blend give us an imposing iris in the late blooming group; Cordolon possesses the caressingly soft appearance of silk as well as its subtle smoothness, yet withal boasts a heavy substance. A very large flower.”
