■(TB) 'Rheingauperle'

1924, Goos & Koenemann

'Rheingauperle' (Max Goos and August Koenemann, 1924). TB, Midseason bloom. Color Class-R7L.

NOTE: The photos previously listed for 'Rhiengauperle' were determined to be incorrect after experts from the HIstoric Iris Preservation Society (HIPS) were notified by renowned iris expert Milan Blažek. Milan brought to our attention the correct 'Rheingauperle' which has been growing at Pruhonice Botanical Garden in the Czech Republic for many years and was sourced directly from the German nursery of Countess von Zeppelin, where it had been continuously grown under name since before World War Two. The variety that had been distributed in the US as 'Rheingauperle' has been determined to be the French variety 'Graziella'. For more information please see Roots, Journal of the Historic Iris Preservation Society, Volume 34, Issue 1, Spring 2021, Page 17.
