RIO ROJO

An excentric son of "Romantic Evening" with white standards and falls between off white, brown and light copper. Bright rust-red beards add character to this amoena. Styles are white tipped with copper brown. Shafts with 2 to 3 branches, each carrying 8 to 12 buds.

An unusual new variety chosen by an artist of considerable talent and fêted in several countries! The soft pink standards go very well with the rosy cream falls with their wide amethyst edging (7-8 mm). Strong coral red beards reinforce the inherent attraction of this new hybrid. Large, ruffled flowers, around 8 buds on average.

We all need something sweet, and this is it! Petals pinkish white, sepals white with a very light yellow border and long white barbs with vermilion points. Very branchy, low-branched stems with an average of 10 buds for long flowering.

New, beautifully shaped yellow! Golden yellow, slightly amber standards and very wide yellow falls with a small white area under the orange red beards. Compact, very well-balanced flowers, good branching, vigorous. Certainly one the best yellows with a red beard.

Provides a refreshing sight and great artistic value: white standards toned in lemon-yellow at the base; white falls shouldered with lemon yellow with a discrete lemon-toned border. Beards of the same lemon yellow. Nicely ruffled flowers. Stalks carry 3-4 and 9 to 12 buds.

A child of the excellent "Dusky Challenger". It is a rich navy blue (almost exempt from violet). Vigorous grower and often three flowers blooming at the same time. Medium blue beards. RHS Award of Garden Merit in 2000.
