ROMANESQUE (Hall, '60) Each $8.00 



A very large, deep mulberry flower, near the color of 

 Elmohr but a bit more "rosy." The beard is not heavy 

 but is quite reddish. Ruffled and waved, with very broad 

 standards and falls. Stalks are tall and stiff, the branching 

 sjood. Ibis was a "stunner'* here last vear. See at left. 

 HM A1S, 1961. 



ROSE AMETHYST (Kleinsorge, '57) Each $1.50 



A new plum-colored Iris with rosy glow and soft brown 

 hafts. Unique in color, the flowers large and perfectly 

 formed; we are quite sure that you will find it a lovely 

 garden subject and one that will attract immediate atten- 

 tion in any collection of the very finest. Not a gay color 

 but rather one of subtle richness. Heisht 3 feet or over. 



ROMULUS (Hall, 1963) Each $15.00 



A giant mulberry-rose self with an extra heavy brownish 

 orange beard. The outer margins of both standards and 

 falls are laciniated and ruffled; even the style arms exhibit 

 this feature. Here is a flower full, deep and mellow in 

 tone, the rich but quiet hues of which seem to exude 

 mystery and luxury! Height 3 feet; very late. See page 9. 



ROSECREST (Hall, 1963) Each $15.00 



Surely a completely new color combination— soft flesh pink 

 shading to bright rose-peach along the margins of both 

 the standards and falls. Those who are familiar with our 

 earlier introduction, Blush Pink, can visualize the general 

 effect but in Rosecrest the contrast is much sharper and 

 brighter. Flowers are produced in profusion and are fluted 

 and ruffled. Good size, spreading falls, 3-foot stems. 



ROSEDALE (Hall, '52) Each 75c; 3 for $2-00 



Much ruffled salmon-pink blend, the falls held squarely 

 horizontal. A two-year clump is a mass of bloom. It is very 

 late, about 30 inches in height, ideal for the front of the 

 border. HM AIS, 1954. 



ROSE FLAME (Hall, '61) Each $8.00 



A brilliant pinkish self with an underlying cerise glow and 

 a cherry-red beard. This Iris has a quality, texture and 

 color fluctuations akin to that of changeable silk— diffi- 

 cult indeed to describe. The term "carrying power" is often 

 employed to indicate color strength of a garden flower 

 . . . here it really does exist in quantity and running over! 

 Closed conical standards and very broad, flaring falls com- 

 bine to create this most alluring departure from the fa- 

 miliar pattern of pinks. 36 inches, well branched. See 

 below. 



ROMANESQUE 



ROBERT J. GRAVES (K. Smith, '58) Each $6.00 



A gigantic late white with yellow beard. It is flawless in form with 

 big closed standards and broad falls of enamel-like finish. Three to 

 four-foot stems are ramrod straight and the branching is perfect. 



ROCKET RUST (Gibson, 1963) 



Each $17.50 



Falls are bright rusty copper smoothly blended on a creamy ground, 

 the standards solidly colored rusty copper. Lighter, brighter and 

 much larger than Chinquapin but with some of the same hues and 

 tints found in that fine new plicata. Petals are thick, broad and 

 lightly ruffled. In our opinion this is the very best of a vast number 

 of new developments in tan-to-brown-to-copper plicata patterns. 

 Height 36 inches. Shown on page 8. 



ROCOCO (Schreiner, '60) Each $7.50 



Ruffled and fluted, giant plicata of bright blue on clean white, the 

 blue pattern especially wide and heavy in the folds of the standards. 

 The falls are pure white in the center, with a quite distinct band 

 of blue encircling a full half inch of the pleated and ruffled border. 

 Beard is deep vellow. A much discussed and admired recent noveltv. 

 Early; 40 inches. Plant Patent No. 2077. HM AIS, 1960; AM, 1962.
