From AIS Bulletin #309 April 1998 Introducing WINE TIME (Messick '98) TB 38", M90-33 Royal Celebrity x (Royal Ballet x LeFleur). A complete dark royal wine self of exceptional smoothness, nicely ruffled and fragrant. It's royal heritage is revealed in the parentage. The well formed flowers are jewel tones of dark garnet and ruby with very dark sapphires forming the beards. Sturdy stalks which bloom freely. Now, in early January, there is off season bloom to view. So from time to time, whenever it blooms, it's WINE TIME! $35.00. Messick Garden.
