Banded Rose

Banded Rose (J. Terry Aitken, 2011) is a remarkable border bearded iris that commands attention with its singular color pattern and award-winning pedigree. Reaching 24" (61 cm) and blooming in the late midseason, this cultivar features copper-rose standards and falls with a light peach wash at the hafts, blending seamlessly to pale cream around vivid orange beards. A bold 7/8" band of copper-rose encircles the falls, creating a dramatic, high-contrast effect that is both painterly and unforgettable. Sibling to 'Banded Gold' and introduced by Salmon Creek in 2011, Banded Rose has earned multiple accolades, including the Honorable Mention (2013), Award of Merit (2016), and the prestigious Knowlton Medal (2021). This garden-showpiece is a collector-grade addition, perfect for those seeking a field-stopping, exhibition-ready iris with undeniable presence. No noted rebloom or fragrance. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Edge Trim, Frilled, Patterned, Rebloomer, Ruffled Awards: Award of Merit, Honorable Mention, Knowlton Medal
