From AIS Bulletin #201 April 1971 Introducing IMPERIAL BALLET. Sdlg. 1766R. A self of purple-violet (R. H. S. Colour Chart). It's a regal, graceful, delightfully formed flower with heavy substance and much ruffling. Has very wide flaring falls and fluted standards. The large blooms are ideally spaced on tall well-branched stalks. Floriferous and a good performer. The Frost and Flame and Lipstick in its breeding make it an interesting parent, used either way. Midseason. 37". HC '69. Net $25.00. Echo Hill Garden.
