Full Description
TB 40″ M
From Schreiners 1975 Boldly held on stout 40″ broomstalk rigid stems, this smoldering, big broad petaled new red Iris features an improvement in height of stem, spaced branching and a rich uniform red self. Absolutely no haft veining, a dull old-gold beard. Opening three flowers at once on well spaced branches, a stem with a compliment of 7 to 8 buds. An ace in the red class, it flaunts majestic spikes of bloom that challenge the eye. Most striking, our picture below shows this outstanding, imposing new red creation. #D 950-1.
From Schreiner’s Iris Lover’s catalog for 1981: “An Ace in the red class, flaunting its majestic campanile-like spikes of bloom that challenge the eye. A large big broad petaled smoldering new red. Absolutely no veining at the haft, a dull old-gold beard. Opening three flowers at once on well spaced branches and the complement of 7 to 8 buds. Silky texture and excellent color saturation. A rugged healthy addition to the limited class of tall, well branched red.”(Rub y Mine x Gypsy Jewels) X War Lord), HM 1976.
