Gates of Rome - Tall Bearded Iris

Gates of Rome is a magnificent tall bearded iris of imperial grandeur — champagne standards with a delicate violet flush give way to very ruffled and flared rich burgundy-violet falls, creating a dramatic bicolour contrast worthy of its name. Muted blue beards tipped in bronze add a refined, antique finish, and a slight sweet fragrance completes this exceptional Blyth variety.
