■(TB) 'Greensleeves'

1970, Brown

'Greensleeves' (Opal Brown, R. 1968). Seedling# 6-15D5. TB, 33" (84 cm), Midseason bloom. French rose (RHS 49D) with fine edge of chartreuse (2D), chartreuse hafts; beard 49D brushed 29D. 'Pink Cheeks' X seedling# L-4E1 from involved pink seedlings. Brown's Sunnyhill Gardens 1970.

GREENSLEEVES (Opal Brown '70) was especially attractive to us because of its unusual color combination of pink and chartreuse. It is a small but dainty iris. It almost bloomed itself out. (1970. AIS Bulletin 199, Oct. 1970, p. 11)
