INTERSTING INFO: From the 1942 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: Every hybridizer strives to secure an iris unlike any variety already in commerce, a really distinct variation. Such an iris is Mulberry Rose. A delectable, lovely, mulberry rose…an unusual color in the deep pink class. Its intrinsic value is its novel color, striking in the garden and unusual because of its singular color. Size is large, stem tall and branched displaying the beauty of the flower to fine advantage. We consider it one of the finest iris we have offered.
