FRISON-ROCHE

Pretty new variety resulting from our research into colour-edged irises. Featuring raised standards of apricot-pink, large falls with rosy-white centres and wide amaranth-toned edges. Thick mandarin beard. Good substance and excellent branching.

It has a classical shape and is one of the best blue bi-tones today. Silver-blue standards and wide ruffled deep hyacinth blue falls. Excellent stems yielding 8 to 10 buds. Very good garden value.

Golden copper standards infused and washed with smoky purple, white falls infused clear purple-lavender especially in centre , copper-yellow border. Orange beards ending blue. Coming from DAKOTA SMOKE, unusual combination, strong growth.

Cream standards infused butter yellow . Almost horizontal falls, fuchsia turning to mid blue-violet under the yellow-orange beards and delicate light brown rim. Flowers have laced edges and plenty of small ruffles.

Years of research were needed to obtain this rare jewel which offers a striking and clear contrast: practically pure white standards with an almost imperceptible violet border and jet-black falls with golden yellow beards. These wide flowers are ruffled on the edges and stand on a well branched stalk. Previewed at the 2012 edition of the Chelsea Flower Show, they were a huge success with the new varieties enthusiasts.
