From Fleur De Lis Gardens catalog 1963: BOLERO (Tomp. '57) M.L. 39 in. ((Aria x Defiance) x Rocket)) x Rio Valley x Glistening Copper). Large, with very broad, rounded petals and lovely flaring form. A glistening copper with a smooth undertone of bright Henna red. A brownish beard and very clean haft adds to its beauty and we consider this one of the brightest we have ever grown. 2.50.
