From Maple Valley Gardens catalog, 1949: CEDAR ROSE (W. 1941) No. 39108 (MA- TULA X SUMMER, TAN) Midseason, 36 inches. A rosy red self made richer by a brown infusion. One of the first irises we named, but it seems to have grown more popular every year. It has been very valuable in breeding. It is the pollen parent of both MARATHON and PINK CORAL. The stalks are well branched, the plants vigorous and free flowering. H.C. 1940, H.M. 1942, Per. R. 87, 1943. $1.00.
"Cedar Rose (Whiting '41) was not in evidence in the Long Gardens but I have known and used it much as one of the most valuable for its nice form and color note of pleasing brown-red at the front of plantings where very tall varieties are not practical or good." [David R. Kinnish, O. S. B., (Kansas), “In Kansas, Missouri and Illinois,” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 107, “Iris Ramblings” (October 1947): 41.
