ROSE DÉSIR

Beautiful two-tones violet with pur violet standards and purplish violet falls almost black on the edges and around the bronze beards. The wide falls have a velvety lustre and waved edges.

Bred from "Special Feature", it has inherited its spur-like beards, these ones being pale lavender, the rest of the flower being ice-white. Very strong, well-bodied flowers, with nearly horizontal falls. A classic beauty, useful in the garden for its striking looks and late flowering.

Pale mauve wine-coloured standards and rosé-wine falls, lighter than the standards and almost horizontal. Orange-red beards. Firm-bodied flowers slightly waved and free-flowering (8 to 9 buds per stem). Superb branching. Unusual colour between rosé and Bordeaux, very attractive!

This is the 3rd seedling brother to 'Confiserie' and 'Attirance' which we introduce : Standards are an intense amethyst and falls in the same tone but slightly bluish around the bronze toned beards tipped with lavender. Exquisite shape with softly ruffled, almost horizontal falls. Excellent branching. (Cayeux Seedling 09 111 D)

White standards with a hint of pale violet. White falls lightly tinted lavender. Tangerine beards. It often reblooms in late summer or beginning of autumn.

Excellent and very pretty border bearded iris. Light peach standards and buff apricot falls with a small cream area beneath the tangerine beards. The small flowers are firm-bodied and have a wonderful shape, the proportions between flowers and the plant are in perfect harmony.
