■(TB) 'Technicolor'

1949, Whiting

'Technicolor' (Mrs. C. Whiting, R. 1949). Seedling# 4646. TB. Midseason bloom. Color Class-R7D, 'Garden Glory' x 'Rocket'.

"Bob[Schreiner] was growing quite a number of guest irises for various people. Among these, I was particularly struck with Mrs. Whiting's 46-46 which she has named Technicolor. It is a very bright, very smooth rose-red self of fine form, coming I believe from Rocket and Garden Glory. It has Garden Glory's smoothness but in a much brighter tone of light red and seems to be a better grower. As a red, Technicolor shared honors with Pacemaker from Greig Lapham. The latter was darker than Mrs. Whiting's red but with good carry and nice form. It also had a very smooth haft". [Jesse E. Wills (Tenn.), “Iris Impressions 1949,” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 115 (October 1949): 20.]
