ORIGINATOR: Schreiner INTRODUCED: 1953 CLASS: Tall Bearded HEIGHT: 42" BLOOM SEASON: Late DESCRIPTION: Blend, old rose with tan underlay. PARENTAGE: Gypsy Rose X Alpine Glow AWARDS: None INTERESTING INFO: From the 1953 Schreiner’s Iris Lovers Catalog: Dramatic, yet restrained, the exquisite color harmonies of this fine rose blend gives us an imposing iris in the late blooming group. CORDOLON possesses the caressingly soft appearance of silk as well as its subtle smoothness, yet withal boasts an extra heavy substance. The illustration reveals its warmth, poise and grace. A very large flower.
