'Rosalie Figge'


Blooming now in my zone 9 inland southern California garden.....reblooming iris 'Rosalie Figge' a tall bearded iris cultivar registered in 1993 by Jane McKnew. This cultivar has been awarded Honorable Mention and Award of Merit. 

Schreiner's Iris Gardens catalog description:

 This dark reddish violet self, a child of Dyke's Medallist Titan's Glory, offers great growth and bloom habits. Its moderately sized flowers have a slight ruffle and are completely saturated in dark reddish purple. Enjoy their sweet fragrance in the spring and then again in the summer and fall.

From White Flower Farm catalog description:


Named for a former president of the American Iris Society, so you know this one must be special. 'Rosalie Figge' is a subtle interplay of purple and violet, is fragrant, and reblooms well.

    I want to purchase the Rosalie Figge Iris bulbs for a memorial garden for my friend who just passed. It was her favorite. I am having a hard time finding a supplier. Does anyone know where I might get them this fall?
