Cimarron Rose

Cimarron Rose (Hooker Nichols, 1988) is a remarkable, reblooming Standard Dwarf Bearded iris that commands attention with its painterly blend of ruffled grey-red standards and tan, grey-red falls highlighted by a deeper spot and a brown-tipped blue beard. Reaching 14" (36 cm), this midseason to late bloomer delivers a memorable, color-forward display, with rebloom reported in California, Oklahoma, and British Columbia (USDA Zones 6, 8, 9). With a pedigree from 'Bright Button' x 'Cheery Cherry', Cimarron Rose is a medal-worthy, exhibition-grade addition to any garden, honored with both the AIS Honorable Mention (1992) and Award of Merit (1994).

Guardian Garden irises are endangered cultivars preserved through long-term stewardship rather than routine sale. Many of these varieties have been lost to time through attrition, discontinued propagation, or the disappearance of original growers, leaving only a few known living examples in cultivation. When a Guardian Garden variety is offered, it reflects that a sustainable stock level has finally been reached within our collection; availability remains intentionally limited to protect the cultivar’s future. We encourage collectors who value historic preservation to support the continued safeguarding of rare and endangered irises by joining the Historic Iris Preservation Society.
