From Maple Valley Gardens catalog, 1950: ROSE AMBER No. 4653 (HARVEST MOON X GYPSY ROSE). M., 36 inches. Rose pink and golden amber, so smoothly blended as to appear self colored, except that the rich golden beard and central amber glow gives it life and light. The very large blooms are gracefully ruffled. The plants are strong and hardy, the growing and blooming habits excellent. $15.00. |
From Maple Valley Gardens catalog, 1951: ROSE AMBER. Whiting 1951). N0. 4653 (HARVEST MOON X GYPSY ROSE).Mid-season to late. 36 inches. Rose pink and golden amber are so smoothly infused in this iris as to give a glowing rose amber self. The flowers are very large and beautifully ruffled. The strong stalks are rather closely branched but the blooms are not crowded. One plant produces a spectacular effect in the garden, a clump of it is breath taking. The plants are strong and hardy with excellent growing and blooming habits. $10.00. |
