ROCKET (Whiting 1945): M. 36 in. An orange toned self with 
standards of pure deep chrome and falls of orange-chrome. 
Extra depth is lent to the color because of the burnished finish 
on the falls. The flowers are large, broad petaled and of firm 
substonce. We suggest that you plant this Iris in partial shade 
as we have found that it has a tendency to fade slightly in the 
very hot afternoon sun. This is an Iris we are happy to recom-
